I love Tilton... if it is configured correctly for the intended application. A 7.25" would make one hellofa street clutch... but I have to ask, what is your driving force for getting a triple ?? An 8.5" two disk will be more than plenty for that power level. I have driven everything from their 5.5" four button clutch to their 8.5" two disc (solid marcel). The small diameter stuff is nearing too light to be used in a street car... especially if you go triple or quad. There is so much surface area and so little mass... that the clutch engagement commonly stalls the engine. With the 7.25" and 8.5"... that little extra mass goes a long way... and its just enough for daily use.

There is also the McLeod Street Twin. Since I was part of the development team for the McLeod Street Twin... I can tell you all kinds of things about it. Its a dream to drive on the street due to that it utilizes a sprung marcel carrier and straps on the floater. Just those two things alone reduce the chatter and rattle to ZERO. We learned that from the 'dual mass' flywheel's that the C4 used with the Getrag... they were just... noisy. For its price, you cant go wrong. And their billet slave cylinder is the only one to use...

Exedy has a few choice options too. The Multi Plate and Carbon series have had good reviews from the boys over on LS1Tech. Maybe Andrew will step in... afterall he is the Exedy dude for Holley Brand.

Textilia has also had its fair share of reviews.

You should really check out what the guys that beat the hell out of their LSx clutches say about all the clutches in question. LS1Tech is full of this information...
