Spin, your slipped somewhat comment is how I would describe my RPS twin Carbon Lite. It can be modulated but the window is very small.

Hi RPM shifts are good.

I'm hoping not to every make a clutch choice again, if that were to happen I like everything about Mantic.

I'm going to take some video footage to demonstrate just how slippable this clutch is for every day driving. I'll also take some track footage to show how it does when banging gears at high rpm(7k).

Glad your happy with it so far Justin!

yes....... i have a material lope / surge round / through there.... It was last re-tuned in December 2011 after a little Pat G designed cam was installed/ couple diff lobe choices.. 6 degree overlap. (weather conditions are substantially diff today than Dec)

Overall car runs GREAT esp WFO, idle and after challenged spot is moved through. Sounds better than music most of time and FEELS BETTER Than,,,, nevermind on that one... Tuner DSteck wrote he would tinker on it - I'm not concerned nor agressively trying to get it to him. It may work out that my clutch installer (GREAT GUY TOO) Chad Barton and Dave hook up frequently to tune at Chad's and elsewhere so I can see if that works best for Dave too.... (Not much of a prob to have!) My car is awesome!

SpinMonster - You've got a pm.... Hope to talk to you soon.

I have the Mantic twin in for a year now and it is working perfect. 721 rwhp and 655 rwtq, never slips, street driving is almost like stock.
