Street twin impressions

I installed my new street twin 2 weeks ago. My lt4 clutch was slipping when I would hit about 8psi. When I first installed the Twin it was grabby and difficult to use. Over the last couple of weeks breaking it in the clutch has become just as driveable as my old LT4 clutch. The pedal is a little stiffer and can get heavy in traffic. Overall I'm very happy with the clutch. I cannot find any combination of Hp and Rpm where it will not hold the power. I've been laying scratches going into 4th gear at 80mph. Great Clutch.

I slotted a piece of 2x4 to fit the bottom of the tranny and bolted it to my jack. Positioned the tranny right and and it slid in on the first try.

It's been a little over a month, any more insight on the street twin?

I am seriously looking into getting one for my daily driver when I get my new engine in (~400 HP at the flywheel).
