Can we have a short run down of problems people have encountered with the RPS twin carbon? We have the twin carbon in our car and several other customer cars. I just want to see what others have experienced. We are considering trying something else out for a while this year.

True, but I do own a 600whp Talon with a 2600lb ACT , does hold the power but can't stand the daily driving in traffic!
Drove a 650hp IS300 with a Tilton c/c ....... Heaven

No doubt that the Tilton is easier on the pedal clutch, but the ACT isn't that hard. You can deal with it.

They fixed it under warrenty and said I had instaled it wrong when I said I had not they never replied,
The new one had full grip from 5miles and not had any problems yet, Not sure on the miles at the moment,
I to am looking to try something else next.

I bought the ACT XT 6xs with the ACT prolyte flywheel. I really dont know if i never got the RPS installed properly or something, the clutch is almost new, only 500km, but my facts are that it never worked for me.

Lets see what happens with the ACT combo now. ACT Man, I will maintain you updated.

Thats right mi amigo. Nobody is running hell fast with the rps, that is a fact. And beside that is very difficult to shift the gears in higher revs because the clutch is too heavy.

ACT is prooven to work. Turbo Trix, etc.
