I run one in my V and love it! No chatter or anything. Very streetable but takes some getting used to because it's so light. GT04SD is the part number I run. GT01SD I believe is for the F-body if I recall.

I just got a NEW Textralia twin disk installed after a lot of problems......click on last link in my sig for most of it (some *** sold me a trashed clutch saying it had 100 miles on it).
Be sure to check the bolts on back of flywheel don't hit anything. Even after buying a new one, those bolts hit my motor.
I have about 200 miles on it and it is extremely drive-able and rarely chatters (only in reverse). I can take off smoothly and shifts very well. I honestly think it drives better than my Textralia Z-Grip.
Now that I got it working, I am extremely happy with the outcome. It is VERY drive-able and doesn't make any noises like I have heard about. I have a Tick master cylinder, stock slave, and 3.70 gears.

Yes, Monster is getting closer to releasing the twin.
Just about done with prototype testing. The guys at monster will of course make the decision on a release date but everything is going great for the prototypes.
Thanks
Chris

Some of them seem to chatter some do not. I am guessing it's what flywheel you use and how you install it.
I am looking for a nice street clutch to take around 900tq but i would like a twin because with a single the pressure needs to be incresed with the more power you need to plant - a twin you can have less pressure and more "bite" because of the more surface area.
Street clutch for me is a nice smooth clutch, that does not slowly engages, it just bites and you do not push yourself in the seat while pressing down on it.
Need to start calling the brands and ask what they make there pads out of because some alloys are louder than others. (i.e. spec stage 5: cast iron, loud when cold or hot bites great, wears quickly esp when warm)

Ive got about 300 miles on my ACT T1SR-G01 Twin.
With a Tick master it drives like a stock clutch, with the engagement somewhere between a dual friction and a puck style clutch.
Best part is that it has never chattered, and because it weighs 36lbs, it really likes to rev.

For anyone who reads this...
I wouldn't recommend a Fidanza twin disk!
My twin disk worked fine for about 5000 miles behind my 500rwhp LS3 and began slipping. All street driving. It's advertised as a "rebuildable" clutch assembly. I've been waiting 6 months so far for a rebuild kit from them (as in paid for) and they still can't tell me when they will have one ready!! The president of the company won't even call me back. Terrible customer service and they won't give you what you pay for.
I would NOT recommend a Fidanza twin disk to anyone.

We offer both Super-Twin and Mini-Twin options for this application. Let me know what kind of torque you are shooting for and what type of usage the car will see and I will be happy to provide a recommendation. Thanks!
