Anyone have a Carbonetics triple disc/lw flywheel out there?

Just picked up my Proto 650 tuned 996tt coupe Sunday. Power is violent on high boost with race fuel and extremely aggressive on low boost on 93. I am very happy. However I stepped up to this ats carbonetics triple disc clutch with LW flywheel and the clutch has around 450 miles on it and chatters very loud and the on/off is killing me. I am practicing in a parking lot getting out of 1st like 30 times b/c I keep stalling at lights. I think I am finally getting the hang of it much more today than Sunday but I hear from Todd k and Akram that it will become more like stock as it gets broken in and the noise will eventually subside. Anyone have any experience with this or will it always engage way up top and be noisey? This was my DD but I am considering switching to my TTS cab with stock clutch especially when I know I will be in heavy traffic. I will appreciate any feedback from everyone here. Thanks.

Why not go with Sachs Racing products and keep stock like feel? You can't slip them guaranteed. Hope the feel gets better with time.

Jean-Yes Todd suggested the Sachs Motorsport pp/gt2 disc with dual mass flywheel the whole clutch setup ran about $2,300 whereas the carbonetics twice the cost but my mechanic and even Todd says they really liked the ats carbonetics for holding the pwr. Yes Todd said the Sachs would feel more like stock but I figured I would be getting what I paid for so I opted for the more costly one but did not know how unlike stock it would feel. I am told by Todd and Akram that it becomes more like stock once broken in. Hoping for a few more hundred miles and it will get better overall.
