It'd help if you described what you want from the clutch and what kind of power/driving conditions you will be subjecting it to.

The car is mostly street, will see the track from time to time. Currently a LS3 forged, cammed. ~525RWHP. need something that can be driven in traffic. My current clutch is a spec 4+ and its way to aggressive for street.

Why do you want an expensive twin disc clutch for a car that is not "high horsepower", primarily street driven, and at times, in stop and go traffic? Just wondering.

I've been told that both of the clutches I'm interested in have a stock like feel, and engage fairly smoothly. I have a single disc now that's crazy stiff and not smooth at all to engage.

In fact I've been told by centerforce that the DYAD is even smoother and easier than stock.

I purchased a McLeod RST a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Totally stock like feel, no chatter whatsoever, and can still hold to around 800 hp

i just purchased a mcleod rxt twin disc(1000hp rated) with spec billet flywheel
im excited to try it out. its a twin disc that works with the stock flywheel, or a stock billet replacement flywheel and holds great power. and its cheaper then that centerforce. its supposed to be a great clutch from what i read, and my tuner recommended me that clutch specifically.
id look into it if i were you.
Thanks for the input, i'll check it out.

McLeod RXT, Pretty reasonable spring pressure, less then the McLeod street twin. A bit grabby but as close to a DD clutch that can still handle a sticky tire as I have found.

^^ what these fine folks said. The RXT is a awesome clutch. I drives very smooth with a light pedal and holds alot of power. I'm just over 750rwhp in a 3800lb car and it works great for me. The time in my sig is with the RXT.
