Textralia Guys, X grip or Z grip which and why??
I am looking to buy a Text clutch in the next couple of weeks and I had a couple of questions. I have driven a Text clutch before (x grip) and it was a hell of a clutch. It felt silky smooth and was handling the car great. I don't know which clutch to get for my car, I am going to be driving on the street but I really don't care about street manners because it is not my daily driver and I put like 2000 miles a year on the car. I want something that will hold 5-6k clutch dumps with slicks at the track. I am sure both x or z will hold up to that since they have a 700 ft lb capacity but should I spring for the Z because it is the more aggresive of the two?? Z and X guys do you wish you brought the other one now that you have your clutch?? Opionions, and guidance greatly welcomed!

I spoke with Byunspeed over the phone, even with PM he wants you to call. He will ask what your doing with it and what power your making. From what I understood the X grip was more aggressive/less street friendly then the Z grip. I got the Z grip and its like a dream. Silky smooth and grips HARD.
I have no exp with the X grip but I suspect they are similar.

It was explained to me the Z grip is the more aggressive and that it would hold better in the case that your spraying out of the hole. I have a z grip sitting here and its a puck design. The clutch material seems very harsh.

Zgrip is semi metallic on both sides, and the X grip is organic on one side and semi metallic on the other.
The Z is the beefier clutch, i'd go for the Z grip. I gave it a beating and a half and it held up GRRREat. Comfortable as hell too
