I didn't realize they made reverse starter gear setups for the C5? I would have killed for that back when I was racing!

I can't compare them, but I've always like QM. They have good customer service, and the parts work well. I've always used the 5.5" 3-disc Pro or Optimum. Carbon is expensive, and replacement parts are expensive, but it sounds like that isn't an issue for you.

I just got an Optimum-V 8-leg setup with Tri-Lite bearing and the discs were all at .103 for $450.

$1800 is a boat load of cash and the replacement discs will cost as much as it does to replace my whole clutch.
This setup will work with 550hp no problem. They run it on Sprint Cup cars with 800 - 900 HP.

I like the QM setup better than the Tilton setup and consumables are less expensive because more people are running QM in professional racing therefore the volume helps keep the prices down.
