Hi Magic,

If you have no future plans for your engine to go over 350hp, I suggest that a Single Plate Clutch kit would suffice your need. You will under utilize the Twin Plate Clutch potential and it's a waste of money as well.

Also, a single plate clutch is easier to "drive" with. You will not have to adjust your clutch paddle releasing habit.

I have to adjust mine for quite sometime to get the right timing. I stalled my car a few times at the beginning as well... haa.. haaa.. but after a while when I got used to and "learned" the clutch, it's a "whow!!" experience. It's like I'm driving a different car.

I don't feel any "loss of torque" during the low rpm with the GD pro. Most "come with the kit" flywheels are not as light as those flywheels that are being sold seperately, so don't worry. This would be one of the reasons why I want recommend you to get the clutch kit that includes the flywheel.

Something about flywheel: Flywheel is like an enery storing(eating) wheel. A heavier flywheel would store more energy(created by the engine), thus releasing or flowing less energy(created by the engine) to the drivetrains. Less energy to the drivetrains means less hp to the wheels.

A lighter flywheel would be vice versa.
=> storing less energy.
=> therefore, releasing or passing more energy to the drivetrains...
=> more hp goes to the wheels.


As for your new 3 choices;
I would choose the Ogura Single Plate.

However, if you still insist on getting a Twin Plate then I would suggest you take a look at 2 more choices.
1. The Cusco Twin Disks Clutch.
2. The ATS Twin Disks Clutch.

I noticed that you you want a high performance and a "solid" clutch gripping feeling, but yet you still want to maintain that easy ease driving pleasure.

I suggested those 1. and 2. because the friction disks are both carbon faced(mixed) instead of copper(mixed).
Carbon mixed disks will allow a much easier "slipping" or "licking" the clutch during stop-go traffic or on slop launching.

Please do not rush to spend $1,000 away. Take your time to select what's best suited your need.
