A: does not have extremely harsh engagement characteristics, i.e,"chatter" "on/off switch"
B: reasonable pedal feel
C: ability to handle power reliably i.e, 25k miles or more of regular street use.
D: reasonable pricing
any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Do you mean the "800hp" (=680rwhp) that you posted above, or do you really mean 800rwhp? The reason I ask is because 680rwhp is a pitiful goal for a turbo as large as a 74mm on high boost...

If you really do mean 800rwhp (and not 800hp), then there is no clutch that meets all of your criteria. If you don't mind me asking, what line of work (or study) are you in? On the other thread you said "...i am a professional tech, i repair exotics,ferraris, lambos and porches..." - I guess they don't tell you how to spell Porsche when they work have you work on them. j/k lol ... either way, if you're really an automotive tech you should know there isn't such thing as a cheap, smooth, 800rwhp clutch. rofl

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
