Use the least amount of clutch you can get away with, heavier fw on the street is where its at. Who cares if it "revs" faster

Except it isn't an accurate comparison. If you could get an extra 30rwhp with a big cam and zero bad effects, why not? The ceramic disc drive WONDERFULLY, so why not have a clutch that last longer and has more capacity with no down sides?

I would agree with this 100%, which is why it's the only option we sell actually. Yes we can get the organic, but we feel putting the customer in a cerametallic is their best option.

What kind of ***-backwards "advice" is this? Why add power to the car at all then? Why not get a nice Prius for your soothing street drivability needs?

I used a Mantic 7000 cerametallic triple, against all recommendations, in my street car and absolutely loved it. Would not hesitate to daily drive. That clutch is now for sale also (due to buying a different car) if anyone is interested.
