Woot! And let's get about 5 cameras at 5 different angles of you're runs this time! Haha

I think we proved that my car performs better with the cameras off ;)

hopefully your master/slave/lines, etc, are all ready for the 2900!

I remember that shit.... haha. It held fine though!

[Halon]

Good point. My Master cylinder was replaced just a few years ago., but not sure if I've ever replaced the Slave. The lines, well they don't leak now, and I have one of the pieces replaced with a SS line. So for now I think they're OK, but I'll have to keep an eye on them for sure.

[4g63tcrazy]

Yeah I'd definately watch out for the slave. I had one good/hard powershift with my 2600 after I got it and there went the seal in my slave..

I ran a 2900 in my car with an organic disck and it did not last very long. I don't like to slip mine too much either. i am not sure why you don't want a twin disk, if you talk to Steve maybe he will let you try his out. I would let you try mine if my car was running.

I drove enough twin disk evo's to know I don't mind them at all. 6 puck ones too. I like them, and that will be the next clutch I get. Hotter they get, the better they grab. You can also shift them faster, and with 2 disks instead of 1, you get nearly twice the grabbing force, despite the smaller size of disks..

Most of the twin disc setups for DSMs do not drive anything like the ones for the Evos. The Evo twin disc's are usually very very easy to drive while the DSM twin discs can take a lot of getting used to. Any twin disc for a DSM or Evo will usually have a light pedal that makes shifting quick easier.

I like sprung 6-puck clutch on DSMs and Evos though. I have seen 2900s cause the throw out bearing to eat up too many tranny cases and their own pressure plates to ever run one.

I don't want a twin disk because I've simply heard that on DSM's, they just aren't that smooth. They also cost about as much as a tranny. And I swear every time I read about someone installing them, they seem to always have issues and have to modify crap to make them work.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

The Evo ones drive nice, but they cost even more than the ones for DSMs and they don't handle as much power as you would think. You usually have to goto a triple disc on an Evo, if you plan on making a lot of power.
