i eat my foot. apparently people with KA’s like them. for higher output applications you may want to spend more scrilla. say 240whp+ ---

Yeah, with something like a clutch you can sometimes get away with a cheaper alternative, such as XTD. The way I see it (doesn’t mean it’s entirely true), big companies like Centerforce put a lot of money into R&D, so they mark up their products to compensate for that. Meanwhile, a company like XTD comes along and copies the bigger companies design, saving the “scrilla” 😛 on the lack of R&D. Thus, not marking up their product like the others. ---

Thus, not marking up their product like the others. what he said… the XTD unit pretty much looks like my Euro-Drive Unit and is pretty much rated the same as my euro-drive unit and its half the price… whether it’ll last or even hold the amount of HP they claim, you’ll never know until you buy it and try it… but if your not willing to take that chance/risk then just spend a bit more from the start and buy something that is known/tested/proven and has a good rep 😉 ---
