C6, for that, I'd just say to stick with stock.

i know this is off topic, but john sheppard builds trannies and TC's for the fastest evos in the US and i doubt he would offer cryo treatment for those parts if it made them weaker.

Word!!

iirc, Curt Brown's T/C has the Shep treatment & it seems to be holding up. i think he uses a Tilton triple plate clutch though.

I thought that the stock pressure plate was 2200lbs?

Also where are those maximum wheel torque numbers coming from for each clutch?

From the Exedy spec sheet that I have. They rate their own numbers fairly low to be conservative per the Japanese engineer that sent the spec sheet to me.

As far as $, I'm not sure how much a replacement is but I may just go with another stock one.

I have a feeling my clutch will soon give way, it's holding fine but once I get tuned for the methanol I wouldn't be surpriced if the 30K mile part will start to slip

I have the exedy 4-puck and had it for about 5k miles and it rocks! Good streetability and performs at the track. I will eventually go with the exedy twin once this clutch goes out!

So would it be good for a guy, that goes to track once or twice a month, and drag races on the street when the time comes would you say the 4pucks a good choice?

This is also my daily driver until i get another vehicle so . . .

I don't have any long term data on the 4-puck, because I switched it out here recently when the trans was rebuilt by Shep. It now has the Exedy Twin Carbon that they wanted me to test now that I've tested the 4-puck. Already, the Twin Carbon is amazing in terms of engagement and smoothness, but I won't know about how it does in racing conditions until later.

The Twin Carbon is not grabby and harsh like the 4-puck, but that never bothered me about the 4-puck, because it took all the abuse I could give it when racing. It costs you less than $1000 while the Twin Carbon is $3k, so one would expect the carbon one to be better overall anyway.

I took Warrtalon's advice, bought the 4-puck.

all i can say is i love it, the only thing that i can say really sucks is when your backup up(reverse) and the AC is on! haha!

other than that, i beat the snot out of her and she loves it!
