Yeah, you'd be surprised how much energy a few extra grams of rotating mass can suck up when the engine has to accelerate it from idle to 10,000rpm.

Winchester tornado clutch

By far the best clutch on the market no low end bog just straight power when you want it how much of it you want.

I have heard a lot of good things about the MIP clutch but I was under the impression from some youtube videos that they discontinued their clutchs. Looking on their website I can't seem to find them either. Is someone else making clutch shoes now for that clutch?

Thank you for the information glad to see the wonderful parts that MIP was making isn't going to just go down the drain and we can still get them and replacement parts. The clutch for the 5ive-T will be on my list now to find out if it will work with the G320 motors also

I had read of some only being recommended to race with wasn't sure about this one and Matt seems to take quite sometime to responded to e-mails.
