I can't stress this next statement enough:

Work with YOUR TUNER to get the right advice on the clutch kit. He/she knows how the tune is setup. He/She will also know what the torque amounts are and where peak torque hits, and how it plots on the graph.

My OEM stock clutch was just fine with the UMWK16/24 hybrids and an Upsolute tune. As soon as I upgraded to the UMW tune and wastegate springs/5 bar FPR, I had immediate issues with clutch slip. I took the car to a local GIAC tuner who knew what worked well with "his" GIAC tune. It was the "GT2/Sachs" kit.

Didn't hold from day one...

Talk to your tuner and get their input before spending a dime.

Don't make the mistake I did and just "listen" to the INDY!
