Anyone using Kevlar Pilot Bearing? Zoom says it last 5 times longer. I can't really find anyone using it. Founds some threads where it doesn't fit other cars. Anyone?

How is the shifting now? From what I have been told, it will be harder to put in gear at high rpm.

I've been fairly easy on it(under 4k) since the clutch is new(LS7), and I also installed a Tick adj.master cylinder, and aluminum flywheel. In about another 100 miles I'll give it a good test.
