East Coast Supercharging is a distributor in the U.S. on the East Coast
LGM is geting set up for a GP, and can handle the South.
A&A handles things on the West Coast.
There may be others, but these are the ones I knew of right off the bat.
You can check with Textralia, and buy direct, or they can direct you at the nearest shop to take care of it for you.
I'll say that I think its better if you contact a U.S. shop at this point as there isn't a 9 hour time difference. i.e. 5PM CST in the U.S. is 8 AM in Australia (then next day) during daylight savings time.

this clutch is insane! i'll be putting one in my car in a few weeks. i've driven and raced a car with this clutch, it was a pretty much stock bolt on WS6, pullin 12.7's with 1.8 60's. street drivability, excelent. i wouldn't say stock exactly, slightly more grabby, but definatly doable in heavy NJ traffic. on the strip, excelent, if not better. no slippage, no smoke, nothing, just a gone ws6. very fast engaugement/disengaugement powershifted like a wet dream! i very highly reccomend this clutch! can't wait to order mine next week!

Details would be nice. If this were the silver bullett of clutches, the other clutch guys would be looking at what they've done here and copying it. I don't have a textralia so I don't want to slam it in any way, but like a few others, I do want to hear from people who have had these in for a while and have beaten them and driven them on the street. If it's true that these are stock GM parts as has been stated more than once, then you're talking about something like a different mixture of organic and metallic compound on the disc and maybe some adjustment in the PP and what is referred to as zero balancing.
I just put a SPEC Stage 1 in my 02 SS because it was suppose to be a good replacement/upgrade for the stocker, and I can say I'm not thrilled with it. The chatter and the jumping from a standstill was/is ridiculous. And I've seen posts here where people say they have absolutely no chatter with the SPEC 1, 2, or 3. I know mine was installed correctly and my experience tells me different. Like everyone else, I'd like to find the clutch setup that is an easy street driver but that can handle some high rev hole shots and maybe a few trips to the track once in a while. Maybe that just isn't possible. Anyhow, all of you TEXTRALIANS do the rest of us a favor and keep us posted on your successes AND your problems with this steeply priced set of GM parts.

Here is a thread covering the clutch in an 800RWHP Supercharged car. Made about 40 passes over the weekend, and basically hot lapped the car....
