Default Any experience with Cartek clutches?

Max effort H/C plus a 200 shot, hoping to get a season out of 1 clutch. 50% track, 50% cruise. If it's going to be too much maintance to keep the manual at that power level, I'll go A3/A4.. but I know Cartek guys are running low 10's on manuals, I'm curious how long A clutch holds up.

I've had the Cartek clutch for 3 yrs and 15k on it, cant even tell you how many track passes its been so long. It started it life behind a 3x heads and cam+150 shot w/ no problems, now its behind my 4x package that has been through dozens and dozens 6500-7000 rpm launches with absolutley zero problems and drives like butter on the street, hands down the best clutch and I've tried some others over the years. I think I heard from someone that they are using a updated design but not 100% sure on that. Give them a call at 908-317-4496.
