[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15867309, member: 141815"] The Shelby clutches are manufactured by ACE Racing Clutches. The only difference between the ACE and Shelby units from my understanding is one is anodized purple with the ACe logo and the other is black with the Shelby logo. I've installed a 3 disc ACE in my car, along with a RJM large bore clutch master cylinder for faster movement of the slave/TB. To date I have only backed the car out of a garage and loaded it on a trailer with this clutch installed. Absolutely no chatter while slipping the clutch to climb up a set of trailer ramps. Super smooth engagement with ease of modulation to slip it. What I thought was very easy pedal effort with the bigger bore master cylinder, which increases pedal effort above the stock smaller bore master cylinder. Now one or two have been installed with people having issues afterwards. One person complained about a new Mantic and having issues. I've talked to another person that has the 3 disc Shelby in his car and loves it. With these new 3 disc clutches the person installing them can cause more problems than you can shake a stick at if they bend a hub of one of the drive discs by hanging the transmission on the input shaft during installation. The air gap between the floater plates and drive discs becomes very small wit the 3 disc clutch and the smallest amount of out of true in a hub creates massive headaches and a waste of a ton of money real quick. The Shelby twin disc would be all you required for your current Hp and torque levels [/QUOTE]
