Default Spec Twin Disk

I am planning on installing one in my car next week but have not bought it yet. With that said, what are your opinions on it?

***NOTE: Please specify if what you are stating is fact, opinion, or word of mouth??

Thanks for your help and any other reccomendations of "things to get done" while putting the clutch in would be appreciated as well.

Strongest clutch we've used with great drivability and loves high hp abuse.

SO what exactly is the break in technique

Do you have to upgrade the master? Or can you use the stock one?
