Default 11" or 12"

Besides the obvious size what the advantage on having a 11" or 12" clutch assembly? I have full bolt ons 470 RWHP on motor and 603 RWHP on 150 shot. Thanks in advance.

An 11" will have a smaller moment of inertia. Meaning will consume less power to spin it up, but that also means less stored energy as well so coming out of the hole will require a little more finess. Now I don't know how much of a difference because I've never driven an 11" but I went from a 12" to an Exedy twin which has a much much smaller moment of inertia and its quite noticeable.

Im sure somebody that's driven both will chime in.

^^ I agree with that. I run the 11 inch monster and I like it. And it's done 50+ passes at 6k launches and hasn't skipped a beat.
