Default Barring cost, any reason to choose RPS BC Twin over Triple?

For those of you who own or install RPS clutches, any comments on choosing a Billet Carbon Twin vs. a Triple?

I'm aware of the cost difference and the difference in power rating. I'm interested in learning if there are any other differences to consider.

I have used both, the both feel the same, engagement is about the same, with a slightly heavier pedal effort. If you need the added capacity, go for it. That is my two cents worth.

Agreed. Only get it if you need it.

How much power will each hold street / strip?

I've done a number of both and prefer the triple's engagement actually. It actually allows for a smoother engagement IMO. The pedal does feel the same if not lighter in the triple.

The clutch is probably the most abused part on the C6 drive line when racing so the triple would be my first choice if I made more than 700rwhp and drove the car hard.

I feel so strongly about how good the triple is that I always stock one and I don't stock the twin...

Cost is the only downside...

That's what I'm talking about, Taylor.

I just sent RPS my stock ZR1 unit so they could take some measurements of it and build me the first ZR1 specific RPS BC triple to use in my car.
