Man i was in the same boat as you after i sent the money for my clutch, just wanted some re-assurance.

I have good news for you: I LOVE MINE. Grabs hard as hell and is still very friendly on the street Easy pedal effort and NO chatter whastoever with mine. Ive got 430hp and 409tq and its taking daily powershifting with out a bit of complaining. Good choice man!

I can't say enough good things about this clutch, I really love it. Light years better than the old Spec 3 I had (which BTW welded to the flywheel at 6k miles). I've just recently got the car out of the garage and started driving it semi-regularly, and the clutch is just a real pleasure to drive. Slips so easily, no chatter, and grabs as hard as you could ask when running through the gears at WOT.

Well after the break in period this clutch drives as close to the LS6 clutch as I can remember....oh..except for it holds AWESOME! Oh so streetable it's just a dream to drive! During break in it was grabby as **** though, and took a little getting use to, but now with about 1500+ miles it is smooth as silk. Good choice and you WON'T be dissapointed!

Its a textralia oz700SB they have a couple different options a 24lb flywheel, an 18lb flywheel this is the one I purchased, and they also have one with a 8lb aluminum flywheel.

They dont really rate the clutch for any certain amount of horsepower. Look around there are plenty of people running fairly large horsepower numbers on this clutchh.

Excellent Clutch! Still a little chatty,but I think I have to bleed the cylinder a little more! I haven't gotten on the car yet but grabs great! Feels like stock! Rated about 700+HP!

Is there any noticable squeeling on engagement? Also once the clutch is broken in and the hydrolics are blead properly, is the engagement point at the top of the pedal travel?

I am likely getting one shortly. I was going maybe ls7 or keeping my cartech but like the idea of pretty low pedal pressure.The ls7 has that but it also is untested on the track and under hard use. I don't plan on tracking my car very often but with twin turbos and planned forged up 408 figure need something good.Their new twin things might be better for me but think try the single as won't be going much past 700rwhp I don't think.

Umm the single textralia is pricey already can only imagine what an exo one would cost..
I figure the standard one should be fine for me .My car is mainly street and wont' be on the track much at all..11.5 pass and its all over..not putting no cage in my car!
Heck they want think firesuits this year in non stock turbo cars!
Do you guys at Byun have stock on a single textralia with billet streel flywheel,don't need the slave?

Have a little over 300 miles on my Textralia SB. I don't have any squeeling on engagement (except from the tires if I give it too much gas ).

My engagement point from day 1 has been near the top of pedal travel. Pedal pressure is near stock. For me, I have to give it a little more gas from a stop than I used to with the stocker to minimize the shuddering. I expect this to get better with the more miles put on it.

Overall, I am pleased.

I've got about 350 miles on my 700 Textralia and I love it. I had the Spec III for about 2 years and it chattered all the way to the last feet when I drove it up to the lift to have the Tex. installed. It still chatters a bit but it's getting less and less frequent. I'm sure it's just as much as me getting used to the clutch as the clutch getting broken in. I don't know how well it grabs yet because I'm waiting for the 500 mile mark before I do that. I definitely recommend it!
