Re: Twin Disc Opinions

Personally I'd spend the money on future expansions and get the twin disk when you need it. The good old 2600 can handle a lot of abuse.

Re: Twin Disc Opinions

What theoretical advantage(s) does the Tilton have over the other brands to justify the cost?

Re: Twin Disc Opinions

Tilton has lots of friction surfaces available. The full carbon they offer is like 4500 bucks.

Re: Twin Disc Opinions

Tilton is for ballas. Not a DSM'er. It's just nit needed. You can get a single disc to hold the power you want. I needed a new clutch, after burning out the old 2600, and decided that I didn't want a twin, for the cost, and for the fact that it's just not fun to drive in every-day living. So, I went with a southbend pressureplate, and an FE disc. Tractor-pulling material on one side, and ceramic on the other (correct me if that's wrong?). Anyway, it's the same clutch josh ran in his stealth last year/this year, and with the exception of the 6-puck part, also the same as John for his galant. Even twin discs can slip (Kyle's did at the last dynoday) but I guess it's all up to you and how deep you want to sink your teeth.
