Ok I have 200 miles on Apex now. Getting some bugs worked out.

Clutch is working smoother. Katech has the cal closer. Car hits the tires fairly hard.

Low effort burn out. On a 60 degree MI day it seemed like the thing to do.

So far the hi rpm reserve is very good. I have not tracked it yet but form the little bit I have drove it I like it. (I only have 200 miles on the car).

DYAD 7.25/10 rating. Negative rattles at idle when it has some miles on it. It too can chatter sometimes. Need a custom throw out bearing. Great high rpm reserve. Work awesome on the track. No issues.

Tilton 8/10 rating Does not rattle at idle. Does not need a special throw out bearing. Had a small chatter at a very soft launch. I have not tracked it yet.

Good info, thanks. The Tilton sounds very promising, and at a reasonable price too. Look forward to more info after you get more miles on it. You went with the organic discs and not the cerametallic discs, correct?
