I can understand that for sure. I was apprehensive as well when I first tried one. But after going through 3 LUK HD clutches in an extremely short period of time, I had to try something different. I wasn't drag racing at a drag strip, but i'm pretty sure launching 35" E Load range tires that are heavier (60lbs + a piece) than slicks put considerably more load on the drivetrain. Not to mention drag launches in the sand with paddle tires. I know, it's not an apples to apples comparison, but just my personal experience.
