Default clutch disk?

I was heading for Tech last week before a 3 day DE in Canada, and my clutch started slipping. I am not complaining about the timing cause it sure could have been much worse.

My question is about which clutch disk to use. The Performance Friction unit (at Vertex) sound good. Does anyone have any feedback regarding PF or other recommendations?

It really doesn't matter...

Porsche are not dragsters and any clutch disc is likely to do a more than adequate job for up to, or more than, 50k miles.

I don't know anyone using the "Power Friction" clutches from Vertex; hwever, most everyone I know puts Sachs in their 911s. Sachs is the OEM supplier to Porsche, too.
