Matt, you definately will not be disappointed with the street twin.

Yeah, but your wallet will be.

/me hates overpriced dual-disk stuff. Too hard to set up, and too expensive to replace when it breaks.

I called D&D and they can do the transmission next week. When you sent your stuff out for Cryo how long did it take them to turn it around? Just curious because I may ask them to do the same. Can you let me know who did the cryo work so I can give them a call. Any idea how much all that ran you?

Matt,

no problem in setting it up? it isn't cheap but unless you plan on hitting nines you'll probably never have a problem!

how much is it worth to you to not have to replace the clutch sooner than you'd like. there are two ways of loking at things, if you can swing it by all means don't hesitate, you won't regret it. it is like whn i went to the 9" in my car when it was just bolt ons, i NEVER worried about hurting the rear after that, and i had the mcleod in there as well.
derty,
well the pressure plate and all will be the same he is just gonna reline the clutch plates with a kevar material, it will take more heat, as i do still drive it on the street as much as i can. although this summer has been interesting, but still good none the less.

Tom, I guess that I believe in you get what you pay for. If you believe that you'll stop in the measly 500-700 rwhp range then maybe a single disc is the way to go. But if you want a man's clutch the street twin is the winner. It's true, it may and probably will take more to set up but if it was easy then it wouldn't be fun. If anyone needs a hand setting up a street twin, I gathered a bit of experience through my street twin racing.
