Steve, I recently put a tvs2300 on my 2013. I have a feeling a Monster is in my future.

I was warned about the "driveabilty" hmm, maybe I should consider something else. Thanks for the input.

Blufin on here has the twin SS clutch and loves it. He wanted me to drive it but I didn't. Since mine got smoked last time out.

Which one? I'm contemplating going back to a heavier flywheel and thought I'd just replace the whole clutch and go with a simpler single disk setup, not that the ACT is needing replacing, although it does look abused, it still works well after 3 hard years.

I can state this is not normal... My triple carbon clutch drives about like stock with a slightly stiffer clutch pedal... even at my power level it holds everything we've thrown at it...No chatter, very smooth to engage and disengage.. I hope Thomas can help you get it sorted out...

Drivability is amazing... I know someone spoke up for the ACT twin, and it may be a different model, but my ACT twin was an on off switch... It chattered a lot.. I can't say it didn't hold the power as I never really had a chance to try it out... It was horrible... even after we got it back from ACT...

I would go with good clutch first. If you have trouble racing it and being consistent...if that is what you are after...switch to a 4l60/80 build. If you are really focused on racing a th400. If you want a fast street car and want to do more than go straight fast, keep the stick. There are some really good clutch suggestions/vendors here.

Our 11" Iron setup, we added some boost to the car and it actually eclipsed 1000 rwhp last night... it's a single that holds the power, it's not going to be polite.

That said, we've got a twin that works and provides great drivability and longevity. Call us and we'll get you taken care of.

Very well said!

If you want to be consistent with a manual you're going to have to do a LOT of practicing. I've done it, and so have many others. Possessing the "driver mod" is critical in a manual car and it's only obtained by practice.
