Those are the messiah of clutches. They're working very well with the Supra guys and the Honda guys with big power.

I am by FAR not an expert I like the Tilton clutch. When I drove a big single car with it it felt pretty good. More of the supra guys though are now switching to the RPS Carbon/Carbon and the WOTM II clutches.......hold more power and are way more slippable and streetable. The tilton is also noisy as hell........it seriously sounds like the car is going to shake to pieces damn POS Supras

I dunno about that one......a lot of people I know who regularly race tend to fuse their clutches to their flywheel.......this is probably due to using a lightened flywheel so there is less rotational mass. Automatics are heavier that is true......not sure about breaking more though......they might suck more power but they also transer the power a lot better.

What if you have a stock auto tranny? I don't shift mine manually, but on occasion I am forced to slap it into D2 to keep the revs up so my all mighty b18 can make it up steep hills.
