2.3 L with 35R and meth...WHAT CLUTCH TO CHOOSE???
it will be alright for a while so long as you don't launch it more than twice
It will stilll hold pretty well on a roll in, but from a launch it just doesn't want to do it.
It's always cheaper to get the best clutch one can't really afford the first time. As the saying goes, you can pay now, or pay more later when the cheaper one gives up.
In this case, an AWD car that generates a lot of power and launches quickly will be tough on a clutch, which is why the multiplate clutches are so popular here. I've determined at this point that a multiplate metallic clutch is the way to go for just about any street driven EVO that makes enough power to compromise the durability of a single plate unit. For the drag racers that make relatively few street miles, the true carbon units are an (expensive) option. Steel-carbon units (e.g. Carbonetics) are a less expensive option for drag racers, but it seems the rebuild cost is steep, and I haven't seen real evidence that they outlast comparable metallic units on the street.
Just my $0.02 worth.

I know most people don't recommend this clutch because only a few vendors sell it in particular Devo Tuning in Chicago.. But mark my word..
A Quarter Master Twin disk has the same if not better bite than an Exedy Twin but the pedal is much softer, possibly softer than stock and the shifting on it is amazing. I can honestly say I became a better driver when i simply switched to this clutch. The cost is similar to the exedy twin and you can also rebuild it after it wears out at a smaller cost.
Mike Raiken who has the record for the Texas Mile has this clutch as well as Yusuf and a few other people that have fast cars.
My friend who has a Exedy Twin Disc drove my car and was amazed at how much softer and comfortable it felt and also how it helped with shifting since it required less force on your foot in between shifts.
Research and find out.. I know Quartermaster makes alot of clutches for professional drag cars and is quite known in that field. Good luck.

i have it on my 35r/meth Ix and love it... it is for some reason TON louder than my friends HD exedy... but they are basically the same clutch... either way both will do fine.
ORC twin or triple plate. I have an exedy twin right now and I wish I would have gotten the ORC. It's compareable to the Tilton and Quarter master hydraulic. You should be able to contact bulletproof automotive they are having a sale right now i think.
