If it helps in your endeavors:
I have SSP500 clutches/steels and DCT seals. Those combined with my tuning, and the car drives like a sequential. Perfect for deep threshold breaking and dropping 2 to 3 gears at corner entry.
To help mitigate drivetrain shock, I stiffened up the longitudinal bushings (as load is pushed front to back). The only time it "shocks" the system is if the wheel is turned (and the drive shaft is bent), but then again, that means I'm shifting too late/early
All shifting is controlled in the ECU, I use the apporach of aggressive shifts but smooth out the engagement action, best of both worlds.

Hey Jack, any new word on your work? Sorry to keep poking and prodding but my clutch is going out and I've already been in contact with you and Tim via email, just trying to hold out to see what you come up with before I pull the trigger on the full rebuild! Thanks for anything you can give us!

with that being said, I know they generally use the SSP clutch packs but if you prefer the Dodson ones they'd probably install them for you with the rebuild if you sent the clutch pack you wanted.
