For starters, the price (and yes, that Tilton all-carbon clutch is very much worth the price, imho.

800hp=680rwhp. No, 680rwhp is NOT a "very high" figure for the Mkiv Supra Turbo. 680rwhp is achievable with the oem fuel system, methanol injection, and a small-to-mid-sized single turbo ... which is a rather modest configuration quite honestly. Truly impressive Mkiv Supra dynos are well over 1,500rwhp (which is >1,750hp) these days.

Why wouldn't it? It is a multi-plate clutch, so that description is completely accurate.

Good (but not great) braking power, low noise, moderate rotor wear, relatively high amount of brake dust.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
