thats where the counterweights come in. it holds 90% more torque under its stationary clamping force. For example (these arent exact figures) at 2k rpm itll hold 100% more torque, at 3k itll hold 120% more torque, at 4k itll hold 150% more torque. thats the idea behind it. lets you use a less agressive pressure plate and reduce strain on the hydraulics and pivot ball. ever had one break, it sucks to pull the trans cause a little thread in ball broke. also sucks to have a slave cylinder blow while sitting at a red light. clutch life can greatly depend on how you wear it in, i dont care what anyone has to say about that either. moving parts have to have a chance to wear in to each other, youll learn that in almost any mechanical or machining field. i work in both. ripping a clutch right out the box can result in greatly reduced life.
