But just so that we're all clear here, you're talking about a drag car that's running 9's. Most of the cars on this site have probably never even seen 6,500 rpm, let alone shift there (or above).

Meaning, the vast majority of people here have absolutely no need for that kind of clutch. I'm not saying you can't run that clutch on the street, you obviously can. And if you dial down the base and use a good amount of counter it probably isn't even a PITA on the street, because on the street you'll be shifting at much lower RPM's and won't have to fight as much of the counter.

It's always about application, and yours is pretty specialized. Not that it's a bad thing to be that specialized or that fast, but most aren't, and that changes the perspective.

I mixed up two different scenarios. I have run this exact clutch both in a race car and my daily driver. Obviously, with different set ups.

I disagree with your premise that the "vast majority" don't need this clutch. The guy who wants to go 100k miles and never touch his stuff might just as well run stock parts. For those of us who are looking for performance, that won't break parts need to change their thinking on clutches and clutch tune up.

It's all in what you expect. It has been since the very early 1980's that I has something that didn't turn more than 6000 rpm's. The engine I'm finishing right now has a shift speed of 7200 rpm and a trap speed of 7500 or so. Obviously, on the street I don't wind it that tight every day. Mashing on it is a different story.

And my wife will drive this set up too, although quite timidly as is her normal. Which is my point. The car I have now is just a stocker (pretty much). I doubt the wife will ever take it past 3000!!! And yet she can drive it.

It's all in your perspective.
