I hate to start a thread like this- and hear the 'use a search' replies...I did- ans finding any real good info is hard on HD LT1 clutches.

Here's the scenerio- 383 LT1 T/A- 408 rwhp(looking to add ~150-200 in spray later). MWC Fab 9 out back. I finally bought a drag wheel setup for the car and have 'real' grip, So I go to the track and toast my Spec 4 clutch.

I am pretty rough on a clutch I guess- busted the springs in the stocker. Put in a stage 2 Spec- it survived til the 383- busted the springs in it too. So I went to the Stage 4, it held pretty good on 315/35 DR's(prolly 20 passes, and 10,000 miles), until this last trip to the track, where 4 passes killed it.

So here's the Meat and Taters...I need a mack daddy of a clutch. I do drive the car on the street a few thousand miles a year. Back when I bought the Spec 4- RAM clutches weren't even out yet, and the McCleod Twim was supposed to be the baddest clutch out...drivable, and holds mega power. Now I see the RAM powergrip HD and they have a twin also. I'd like to hear from people running these clutches.

Just by reading the RAM twin seems to be the cat's meow, But I can't find 1 post from anyone that owns one....

 

Don't about the Ram twin but the Mcleod has been around a while is it WORKS. You will find the other weak links in your drivetrain before you break the clutch and it drives great on the street.

 

Thanks for the feedback Dugrat.

 

McLeod Street Twin loved 6K dumps back when I still had the T56.....

 

Thanks Fred- I had read that you had good fortune with the McCleod. It is also cheaper than the Ram.

 

I got it used.... ran it for a couple years, then sold it to a guy in TX for an M6 conversion.

 

Street Twin, hands down. I launch at 5k on the bottle out of the hole on a 150 shot and slicks with no issues.

I'm on my 3rd Street Twin, well I need to install the 3rd one this year. I do almost entirely city driving, back and forth to work in the summer. This clutch works GREAT while it lasts, but heavy clutch usage in traffic seems to eat 'em up. I don't get 8k miles on one. I don't know of anything better, but plan to ask McLeod if they have a more durable friction material option for such usage.
