Do you mean road race or events with a lot of drag take offs?

I raced for four years with a beefed up pressure plate and sawblade with bonded/riveted linings, as the clutches with the marcel in between the plate and lining are rubbish for competition, and had no problems in 400bhp L34 Holden Torana (Bathurst model.) I am easy on clutches not into dropping them, and once your racing the idea is smooth and fast!

Maybe you should contact an outfit that specialises in setting up clutches as to avoid going to triple plate Tiltons or AP race stuff, which solves the problem, but has some downfalls regarding stop starting in heavy traffic, I would go for a minimum 2500lbs pressure plate and then maybe a kevlar or good quality material solid disc driven plate around 10.5" - 11" diameter.

Having had no experience with kevlar linings, they seem to be the way to go, you may have had kevlar and sintered bronze or whatever with your dual lining?

The bottom line is find a good clutch maker; Mcleod have been good to me with their simple single plate systems, or if you do a lot of track go for the multiplate Tilton or AP, as far as I know you will pay about the same price for either!
