KY Clutch owners

Ok, I know this has been almost an overtalked part, but I recently got tuned with the new hptuners software and am putting out 362wtq and need a new clutch. My stocker started slipping on the first tuned pull, so I don't really have accurate dyno numbers. Wtq seems about right, but hp was way off I have a feeling. Basically though, I know I need a good clutch and have heard many positives about KY clutches, with minimal problems and am looking to hear owners and users of this clutch opinions and any problems they have had with the clutch, thanks in advance!

Edit: my car is a daily driver year round, so I also was wondering if anyone happens to have some cold weather experience with this clutch?

Only thing negative I've heard was that the disengage point is near the top, so you barely push the clutch and its off. I heard this is fixed with ZZP clutch rod though.

Not that this helps, but I hear Clutchmasters Stage 3 is identical to stock and holds more than stock by a good number but KY holds even higher. So if you weren't planing on going to high like BT clutchmasters will work. KY will work even if you go BT. This is hearsay for me, I couldn't prove it if you asked.

Haha ok, I appreciate the reply, that's just about what I've heard too. Hopefully I get some actual users too. Lol.

Yeah, well I've decided to get a ZZP clutch instead. I want it to work and be great. I figure an extra $300 isn't gonna hurt.

i have had mine for a while got a decent amount of miles on it and i can say that the only issue that takes some getting use to is the noise which i hear is common with puck clutches and the engagement, its very on and off the pedal is much lighter than stock

and as far as power mine is holding 370+ wtq just fine
