I've run my T-56 magnum with a dual disk clutch for almost three years now and have no issues. Started with an aluminum flywheel and now running a lightened steel piece from Centerforce. I would hazard to guess that the dual disks that I have run have been lighter than stock so I don't know if that's a legit justification but I am not sure.

While it's true that the larger the diameter of the disc is spinning outside the centerline of the crank the more work it takes the synchros to slow down and cause havoc on the synchros, i personally think its a sales pitch to sell a umpteen thousand dollar transmission. Thousands of people use twin disc units on T-56's from 93-02 camaros and 2003-04 cobra's all the time.

My newish Mustang has a tr6060 with a dual disk clutch from the factory, if that says anything. I've been running the same clutch James has for the last year in my Camaro, and no issues either.
