Default Twin street setup over single

Fordracing 65 Here's my feeling on this. I have run a single for years with a mild motor of 368HP and 448torque at flywheel with a 2,800 pound pressure plate. I had no problems after removal of weights on it. Ran this setup until I also went to a 482 stroker kit. My motor is now 620ft of torque and 540 HP. The single didn't hold up and was glazing the disc. If you roll on and off the throttle smoothly it will hold but anything harder it slips. I have gone to the street twin in my car but have not got many miles on it for breakin of the setup. I can say the pedal is lighter and soft and there is only slipping of the tires to the road. This setup bolts on to a stock flywheel or you can go smaller and lighter if you want. Setup of the pedal is also important for having a stop and not over extending the pressure plate fingers. Bylkins sold me the setup with matching thrown out bearing. instructions are simple and easy to follow. Doing job on lift about 3 hours on your back in driveway all day with pests. Make sure you follow breakin procedure. IMO once you pass the 500HP and tork I think this is a better way to go and hold all the power. Only down side is the discs are solid mount to the hubs and not spring loaded. The springs absorb some of the drive train engagements. With going to a stronger clutch assembly you will find out over time what is the next weak link to the cars drivetrain. I don't heard any chatter with it disengegaged. Time will tell. Rick L.
