The Borg & Beck is GM's version of the 3 fingered pressure plate.

If the discs are organic then there shouldn't be any chatter or instantaneous grabbing. If it's a B&B plate, then it depends on what the clamping force is. It could be comparable to what you have now, or it could have a little heavier pedal.

McLeod makes two Long style pressure plates, one is a street and the other offers a little higher performance. So depending on which one you have, you may notice a difference with the Street Twin or you may not.

To be honest, you don't need anything like that. These clutches are rated for 1000hp, for very high horsepower street cars. You're going to pay $300-400 more for this than a regular clutch setup with a new flywheel. I just don't see the justification for it. The only caveat would be if you were making more than 500hp and you wanted a stock-feeling clutch with no chatter.

However, I did send an email about it to clear some of their catalog info up. I'll keep you posted.
