Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Zoom ZVT
I recently had the opportunity to travel to South Carolina and visit with Gary Croyle and the folks at Perfection Clutch. It was great experience spending time with Gary and trying to take in a small amount of his vast knowledge of his 26 years experience in the clutch business. I had the chance to tour the building and see more clutches of various types and sizes in one spot that you would think possible. The clutch lab with all the test equipment was pretty impressive.
I also had the chance to have one of their ZVT stage 2 clutches installed from the ZOOM performance clutch line in my truck. After putting 177,000 miles on my stock clutch, it was on its last mile. The ZVT is a very impressive and unique clutch, using centrifugal force to increase the clamping load as the engine rpm increases. Gary is the man to contact for more specific information on this product.
The whole experience was wonderful and the hospitality was second to none. How many companies can you go into and meet the president and vice president, let alone have them take time out of their schedules to talk to you and make you feel at home.
I know a lot of people in the TDR are partial to the other brand of clutch. I would just like to say if you are considering purchasing a clutch, do take a second look at the ZOOM. From my own personal experience, I feel it would be worth you time to contact Gary and the other fine folks at Perfection Cutch with all your questions.
There are also a couple of other people that helped make this trip possible. Thanks again Andyman and Piston Slapper.
After having it in for a week now, I can say that I have no complaints. It is performing just as I was told it would. Pedal effort is better than stock and comparable to my wife’s Honda. There is some noise under a load in 4th gear. All other gears are quiet, nothing to really complain about. I’m still getting used to the button disc and the aggressiveness associated with it, although it is getting better as the miles add up and I get used to having it. A small amount of chatter is noticed in a 1st gear take-off from a dead stop, and a little more noticeable in 2nd gear. No noticeable difference in driving manners at highway speeds over a stock clutch. Once again, it is getting better as I adjust to having a high performance clutch. All of the small issues listed above were explained to me when making the decision of choosing a stage 1 or stage 2 by Gary. He asked me if I wanted drivability or torque capacity. I chose torque for future upgrades. Overall, I’m satisfied with the ZVT, but the rear tires may have a different opinion.

Maybe I'll get to drive it.
