This is what i've narrowed it down to. Exedy triple semi metallic with fork stopper or the competition twin disk clutch kit. If the fork stopper works without problems then there is no reason for a push style setup, right, accept for added peace of mind? I see not too many people on the forums have ran the competition twin disk with the pull to push conversion with linkage, can anyone speak to this clutch?

Exedy triple or twin hands down. I have driven them all and these are the only thing that is not a true pain in the *** to drive. With a fork stop they are just un beatable.

Agreed. I had my Twin HD rebuilt when I had the motor put in. I am running a STM fork stop and am looking to make just under 600whp and somewhere in the low 500's - high 400's on torque. We will see.. it is at they tuners now.

gl with that. If you drag it itll slip bad. Itll never hold that much power. You shouls have went with a triple.

I am not dragging the car. It is only for road use and maybe some auto-x events, nothing big, 0 launching. I heard it should hold, if need be I will just get the extra floater plate, another cerametallic plate and the push conversion. Not too bad.

I full triple upgrade requires 2 new floater plates, 3 disks, and the spline section.

I wouldnt go push unless your really ****. Just get a fork stop.

clutch longevity is similar to other frictions like brake pads... They wear faster because of heat, so it will some what depend on how you drive, especially if you're launching.

Other issues with the stock clutch mechanisms breaking has nothing to do with how much hp/tq you make, it depends on the type of clutch you put in there to deal with that type of power. They have stronger springs which puts more stress on the OEM components.
