Does anyone have any seat time with this dual spring set up yet? How does it work.

The kit is a regular torsion spring, with a smaller compression spring as I understand it.
So let me get this straight?
Compression secondarys suck, so 15 different aftermarket companies change them out to torsion springs. Now this years "upgrade" is to go back to half compression and half torsion? Now we are half way back to the original design?
I guess I have never understood the "physics" of why a torsion spring applies any different force in a fully encapsulated helix than a compression spring. The helix only moves one way, and other than spring rates, the net force in the helix is the same regardless of type of spring. Try it on a press with a compression scale. Sure, you get different rates with a torsion, but it would seem to me that just building the correct rate compression spring wound do the same thing? Perhaps they were not previously available?
I know these kits get good reviews and I had one myself. It worked, but no different than a spring/helix change and I was not sold on it. Like a lot of aftermarket parts, I just wonder how much of the "better performance" is the placebo effect?
No bash, just trying to get an intelligent explanation that uses physics not salesmanship. I am curious to see RKTs new kit. He is the only one that seems to have any innovation out there. It's changed a lot since the first year. They rest just look like a copied 1st gen RKT end cap design.
everyone seems to like the torsional setup but I would rather have optimum up shift rather than limiting it for better backshift, I also understand the need for backshift to maintain optimum rpm. But why don't some of these clutch guru's make a tied clutch that works on a dd.
