Default PT clutch/High torque clutch owners question

So I am about to purchase the high torque clutch from modern. I guess it is also the same thing as the PT clutch, but what is holding me back from doing so is I have read more then one review that after installing some people have reported a rattling noise after installing. I guess my other option is going with the centerforce which is double the price and holding capacity. Which is overkill for what I need it for, but I don't want to by a POS clutch and drop the money to have it installed. My clutch now does not make any noise or rattling, I just know it needs to be replaced as it slips and is slowly getting more frequent.

No, my clutch now is silent. It just slips. Basically if I go WOT rpms jump about 500-1000 before it starts gripping. Its just kind of annoying because I basically can't open the throttle up more then about half or else it slips. And eventually its just going to quit gripping at all. (/Sarcasm on)I know its probably because I have too much power for this clutch. LOL, (/end sarcasm). This is not my first MTX so its not because I'm a noob, its more then likely the about 100 drag strip runs I made on it have finally caught up. That and I have about 68,000 miles on it right now. I have the money budgeted to replace right now so I plan on doing so.

im was just askin cus wen i got my clutch replaced wit a performance one it started making a grinding noise, i took it back to the mechanic and i asked about the throw out bearing and he said it was fine so we took the tranny off and took a look at the throw out bearing and it was fine, but ever since the clutch has been replaced it makes the noise but u can only hear it wen u start the car when its cold, and it doesnt do it all the time but wen the car is warm there is no noise,
