Top of the line Mcleod twin plate as used in quite a few airshifted gforce 8 second cars here can be had for $1600USD with flywheel!
I can get a custom made twin plate with flywheel for under $900USD! Let me know if you are interested

clutchmaster's twin disc's are not made by them.
Quarter master makes them and clutchmasters sells them as their own.. I don't like clutchmaster clutches either. BUT I've the twin disc in honda's before and they work well.

i just don't see the need to spend $2000 *or less* on a twin plate clutch kit when you can just use a six puck that costs 1/4 of the price and works just as well ??? and might even outlast the twin plate kit

My twin plates have a stock pedal feel, but have the same bite and grip, if not more, than a single plate

Multi-disc clutches are well worth the money, if you ask me. Driving around with a binary (on-off) puck clutch plate is not my idea of "drivability". Sure, it can be done, but why live with that if you don't have to?

RPS seems to have come up with a nice medium for the single/twin plate debate.
www.turboclutch.com (look at carbon/carbon)
I've already been inquiring about them, but apparently they have only completed the supra and viper ones for production.

nocab, I highly doubt you are making over 400 rwtq but that doesn't mean the ACT will hold up to their claims.
I don't know how hard you are on your clutches or if their quality varies, but it seems like some people have put 50 or more passes on the ACT street/strip clutch. If you get a puck clutch you will really have to baby it to keep from breaking other parts, or spend about $3k upgrading everything in the rear end. I have a 6 puck and it's a real pain, I will probably go back to a street/strip next time it is convenient. I rarely take the car to the strip so it would be worth it to me to have easier drivability. I agree with others though that a 6 puck will probably hold up pretty well.
