Clutch Options for 600+ TQ: Exedy Triple vs Quartermaster 8 leg vs ATS triple
I currently have a Carbonetics Triple carbon and I think it needs to be rebuilt. When I get the xfercase swapped out I will be addressing this with the following option.
Brand new QuarterMaster 8-Leg with HRB
Exedy Triple Carbon
or
Rebuild my current Carbonetics.
I don't care about noise. I don't daily my car but I do want the option too (AKA I don't need an on and off switch). I'll probably put about 20-30k on the car max so longevity is somewhat of a concern.
Currently I'm about 577 lbs of TQ. I'll be retuning on the BB 6266 so I'm sure I'll be over 600 lbs of TQ when I'm done.
I don't mind an agressive clutch but it does need to be drivable in stop and go trafic for the times I feel like driving to work or running an errand.
The reason I have these choices listed is because they are all about the same price for me.
I haven't researched the best price but it looks like I can get the QuarterMaster 8Leg for about 1600-1700 with the HRB, I can get the Exedy for about 1900 (maybe a bit less like 1700) and I rebuild my Carbonetics for about 1600.
Thoughts?! Opinions?!!

As personal experience with a triple carbon exedy with about 1000 hp and 950 nm of torque i can say that it's really smooth, and holds the power, only down side is that it has to be warmed up, it slips when cold.....

I think I in-advertently killed my ATS because it needs to be warmed up (Roleld on it for 2 years at sub 500 hp and a few months after going over 700 4th gear started to slip). For a daily driver I don't think the local LEO's would appreciate me lighting it up at a stop light to "warm" my clutch up. LOL.

You can slip them for 15-20s at a stand still, you don't need to dump the clutch. Its in the manual - you can find it online.
Foot on brake, hit the gas like heal-toe down shifting, hold it around 4k rpm, slowly release the clutch (not all the way) give it about 2 10s slips. Clutch warm, stays warm if you are on it.
They will hold about 500ft/lbs cold

I'm no expert. But I had the triple "metallic" Exedy. To me it was hard to drive around town. I thought my clutch was bad when in reality the ring came loose. Thats when I made a choice to the new QM w/HRB. And I love it. Makes some noise on deceleration but it fully street drivable.
