I have the Cartek with the steel billet flywheel from SLP. This clutch can handle anything I throw at it, so I highly recommend it.

My cartek clutch has performed very well, but it all depends how much power your putting down. Mine is just now starting to slip, and I'm putting about 550rwtq to the ground, and i'm sure the 6200rpm launches on the spray didn't help it much.

P.S. it had about 8K miles and 125 passes on it. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Just installed my Cartek and am VERY pleased with the smoothness at takeoff (without any chattering) and firm grip between gears <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

hmmm from what I read on other posts most people chose mcleod over cartek? People stated that mcleod is better for street use and cartek does a lot of chattering after been used for a few months time? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> somethings wrong here...
