Does anyone know what would cause a dual stage clutch to constantly chatter?

I've heard certain brands are more prone to chatter than others. Kind of like how BBK throttle bodies apparently ALL whistle. Throw out bearing maybe??

It typically depends on the friction material. The kevlar and sintered iron have a higher coefficient of friction and will chatter during slower take-offs. These are good for higher HP without having a ridiculous peddle pressure.

Thanks for the reply man. :SNSign: This makes sense to me. I revved it to like 4000rpm once and let the clutch out and that clutch grabbed like a Gorilla on steriods man. Nearly jerked me head off !!! Is there a clutch that has some sort of middle-ground? I never take my car to the track. I will prolly be dumbing it down to like 420-430rwhp and 450+ rwtq. Do I really need this heavy arse clutch?
