A 2. Just because it doesn't slip. It does hold the power. But that's the only thing its good at.

why do you rate it a 2? because it chatters? im using a RAM adj. master cylinder, new slave cylinder, RAM billet steel Flywheel and the Powergrip HD. its COMPLETELY different then stock. but as far as im concerned its held up great. when u try to get the car rolling you do get occasional chatter, but if you give it some RPM and do it just right it goes smoothly. im making the power in my sig N/A + a 100shot and the clutch grabs HARD every shift

i would give it a solid 7 (assuming id rate a twin disk a 10 and a stocker like a 3)

Ok thanks. I know clutches are a hit or miss thing and everyone has different experiences.

Man mine chatters so bad it will chatter when going through the gears. I'm running the exact same setup as you, maybe I just got a bad one. I made sure to clean everything so I know there's no finger prints or anything. I don't know but it sucks. It does hold the power though. Maybe I'm being to critical but I definately wouldn't buy it again.
Oh BTW I got my cam it ended up being a 231.5/233.5 on a 111+2 instead of 230/232 110+2. I guess they have a little tollerance but its close enough to where I don't think its going to make a difference. But its going in Friday and I will be on the dyno Monday. I will try and get some sound clips and a dyno run for you guys.

Thunder put mine on a cam doctor and sent me the card when I got the cam. It was barely off from what Pat spec'd, but it was nice to see.

I would think if the cam specs aren't right they would grind a new one and make it right. Does anyone know why that isn't done?

is it impossible to get the specs right?

I'd imagine that's such an infinitesimally small difference that in the long run it really wouldn't make much of a difference. Then again I could be wrong...

If you are real curious I would just ask Pat G or Predator, they could probably give you a real answer on whether or not it's possible to get the specs exact.
