The kevlar blanket comes highly recommended by a lot of racers. It's one of my planned upgrades this winter. for normal street driving, this is the way to go If you just want a safer clutch.

For racing, that's another story. For a track only car, the steel SFI approved bell housings will work. The consensus seems to be that Quicktime is a better product, and fits better out of the box.

Using one of those is a problem on the street, because they hang down so low. So you trim them off at the bottom. And sometimes they have to be trimmed on the starter side to fit in the frame rails. But now they don't qualify for SFI rating.

Gordon Levy sells a small clutch and bellhousing set up. I'v seen it, and was amazed at how small it is. The clutch is said to be light, with a good feel, and very strong. Saves a lot of space and weight. Not cheap, though. But then, racing never is.
