Just a quick update.
2 years into my swap and I have had zero issues with the kit. I have abused this setup with power ranging from 500wtq to over 800wtq and never had a problem. That was until I went to the track with it and the ceramic disk got way too hot when I was launching the car. So my single disk clutch made it 2 years with 650wtq+ without issue street driving and making pulls, but drag racing was asking too much.
At at this time I am awaiting shipment of a new clutch to test for PMC that will greatly increase the torque capacity and should have no issue at the track. The car still went 12.2 @ 123 with it slipping on launch and not being able to hold any boost in 4th gear (the last 400ft of the track). Boost by gear settings were such that the shift in to 4th went from 23 psi to 36psi and that was the final straw for the clutch.
Either way, very impressed at the abuse this light pressure plate/single disk handled a lot more torque than it was rated for repeatedly for such an easy to drive clutch.

I know, I just bumped a 2 year old thread but I currently have a ZF trans waiting to go in the car. If the SC community can avoid spending $1500 on a kit that would be nice for everyone to know. Also ZF trans are pretty easy to find in junk yards for now.
