Just put a new 383 in my 96 formula, and i currently have a McLeod single disc 7500rpm in my T-56, but it has almost nothing left to it, and its time to upgrade/install a new clutch. I have read nothing but amazing things about the Textralia OZ700, but have noticed that they are only listed for LSx based cars. Can they be used on LT-based cars as well since they have the same measurements(11 inch disc, 1 1/8 dia., 26 spline), or if not, is there an LT version of this clutch setup?
I know everyone loves the McLeod Street Twin, but i'd rather not go with a dual disc setup.

An LSx car uses a conventional "pusher" style clutch, where the T/O bearing is pushed forward to release the clutch. The LTx cars use an oddball "pullback" design, where the T/O bearing is pulled backwards to release. The two styles are not interchangeable. That's why there are so few clutch choices for the LT1.... they are "unusual".

What to you have against multiple-disc clutches? Many factory high HP setups are opting for multiple-disc clutches.

i dont really have anything against them, its just i dont feel like replacing the master cylinder and adjusting it, and also i want a more stock feel to the pedal, and have heard that the dual disc setups are a little more of a bear in traffic, and i use my car as a daily driver. I emailed Textralia the other day, and they said they were going to see what they could put together for me for the setup I am running, and with LT1 design, and they are gonna call me to figure out my options in further detail. Also, I see that the RAM Powergrip HD is a single disc that can hold 600HP, so that may be another option. Does anyone have any input on either one of those clutches?

I ran a Street Twin in my car when it was a daily driver, and the only thing I noticed was maybe a 20% increase in pedal pressure. Otherwise, you didn't know it was there..... untill you dumped it at 5,000rpm . I bought it used and installed it without an adjustable master. The original setup came with a sleeve for the slave, and required that you shave down the fork pivot slightly.
