I'm surprised that no ones responded!Differences? Opinions anyone?
I think I'm sold!We run the quartermaster twin disc. Unbelievable clutch. Clutch takes some getting use to if you are going to put miles on it. But, the level of performance is second to none. Has held up to some serious abuse and even teaching a 19 year old girl how to drive on showed no signs of heat or wear. That particular clutch is now in a 1G running 10.6@136. No slipping and super high quality. The pressure plate had to be countersunk though. As the clutch was designed for a Ford Cosworth Sierra. That car uses a hydraulic throw our bearing. For the money I say go with it and the devo tuning flywheel. The chromoly flywheel is a phenominal piece. My next clutch in my mirage will be this clutch after the 2900 goes out. We wanted the tilton for the 2G but couldn't justify spending $3200 for the clutch.

Do you have first hand experience in it being quieter? How about knowing that the throw out bearing is better? We got out Flywheel and Clutch for $800. Seems reasonable to me.

Who makes the PTT clutch guys? And the ?? is does it come with a flywheel like the others?Have you seen the PTT TOB design? It is the only company other then tilton that offers a TOB for aftermarket clutchs. It is made specifically for the clutch and also helps reduce noises. Yes I have first hand experience with the PTT clutch being quieter then the Devo clutch. If it wasn't for steve from PTT there would be no QM PERIOD.
I was looking for a better more detailed reason than that. For anyone in the future who may want to use this thread to help them decide on a clutch. I know the differences but others may not. Just put the information out there with reasoning.

I run a exedy twin disk and I love it It took me some getting used to but It never slips at all and my car makes 545lb of toqrue. Exedy comes with the pressure plate and flywheel pretty much everything you need to bolt it on. The shop that built my car Showdown racing is running the same clutch in their race car thats powered by a 42r and ran consistantly in the high to mid 8's. Alot of the evo guys run the exedy and are making tons of power too.
Can you post a link for both vendors(Devo tuning,PTT) Thanx!More detailed then being told by people who have first hand experience with the clutch being quieter? Steve Fox designed the clutch(18 years he was with QM) and a few years ago he opened his own company making specialty clutches. The design of the throw out bearing is specific to the multi disc clutch rather than using one made for a standard clutch. With the QM clutch you either clearance your stock fork or you buy one from devo that has already been clearanced. The devo kit is $1200 retail and the PTT setup is $1050.
The PTT does come with a steel flywheel, but you have to reuse your ring gear or buy anew one($80) available from jnztuning.
What it comes down to is buying the complete package(the PTT setup) or most of it(the QM).
Think of it as a Mustang...Ford made a good thing when they made the mustang, Carol Shelby Made it better.
So what would you rather have, a mustang(QM) or a Shelby Cobra(PTT)?
PTT = PowerTrainTech
The devo tuning clutch comes with everything when you buy it. Clutch, flywheel, new TOB, new fork, and it just bolts straight in. Where are you finding the PTT for $1050, i only see it for $1250.

jay you know you have it assembled wrong right?
btw the new qm kit you have pictures of is the EXACT same clutch with the cover designed differently on the surface.
