Default Clutchmasters or Textralia?

So as I posted a couple days ago, looks like I welded my Spec 3 to the flyweel at the track this past weekend and am in the market for a new clutch.

So these 2 are about the only 2 clutches I seem to read only good reviews on, though not many seem to have them, and the price is kinda high. I don't mind paying the extra money at all for a good part. My spec lasted 1.5 years and 6k miles, so if one of these 2 lasts 3 years/12k, then I've saved money

Anyone have any opinions on these 2 clutches? Also any sponsers that sell either? So far A&A is the only one I know that sells the Textralia.

Thanks

I purchased my textralia from A&A and had it installed this past weekend. I have about 75 miles on the clutch and the chatter is minimal in first only. From what I have read it should get grabbier the more miles I put on it but it is pretty sticky now.. I would highly recommend this clutch, Textralia offers great customer service and will answer any PM very quickly.

I hear great things about Textralia. They are a sponsor and AA Corvette is a sponsor that sells them here in the US. When I cook up the money I will be getting one. When you look at what you get with the clutch, they are a great deal. They come with a new flywheel, slave, and other stuff.

My Textralia has about 150 miles on it now and it cool. It has like no chatter at all. It came with a stock F/W and I shimmed the slave out. It feel like it ready to see the track. But I need to bleed the system a little more. It grabs about an inch off the floor.
It grabs very well, I've been doing some 30 or 40mph mash downs. No dumps yet. But soon.

Call Jeff @972-814-1800, He can give you some more info.

Thanks for the input guys! I was about sold on the Textralia, and I think I'll be placing an order at A&A tomorrow.
