John Martin. That clutch company is full of CRAP. They cost me a total of 6 grand to find out about the sliding weights and how they work. Even their own tech guys are STUPID. The weights load the diapham around 2,800 rpms and I couldn't shift my car. It did not depend on from what gear to what gear I was going. Under this rpm, no problem. Brought a second trans and still had the same problem. Short verse, the whole story is on an old thread. The Gold clutch is 30% stronger holding strength than a stock one and has a heavier duty hub to absorb drivetrain shock. You don't need the weights. I am still running the same pressure plate 14 years, but have installed a new disc a couple of years ago. I will goto a twin disc setup with new motor from Mcloed. ERA removes the weights on alot of there cars they assembly. IMO personally with 482 cubes the clutch is a little weak. IF you roll on and off the throttle I have no problem. Hammering the car, it slips a little. If you want to do burnt outs, buy a set of cheap hard tires for the back of the car. You can add a washer tank, hoses, and nozzles and make an instant water box any where you want. Having wet tires will also do alot less damage to the drivetrain when trying to start spinning the tires. Rick L.

The reason I have the Tilton was to move the clutch pedal back a bit (meaning towards the front of the car) to accomodate my long legs. I don't know whether it gives the slave any more travel (I suspect not).
