^^^^amen
having just installed a "street twin" (LT1) which came with a wilwood MC 13/16" I have to say it is as smooth as a stock clutch but absolutely holds with no slip what so ever going through the gears
was not cheap but after spending $ on multiple single clutchs over the years I finally paid up to get a real clutch that drives like a stock one but holds considerbly more than any "puc" type disc I have had
Fortunately for the "LS" guys you can use a stock FW so the kiy is cheaper. Don't know if McLeod offers a MC for the LS with their clutch kits but for the LT1 (pull) type it comes with it and a FW
I have heard great things about the TICK adjustable MC and believe for a "twin" disc clutch a adjustable MC is needed to adjust pedal for slightly more travel

Sheer curiosity here guys, and I have no stock in Monster whatsoever, just b/c I run one...
Here soon I'll be upgrading to a twin, and am torn between the RXT or a Monster stage 2 twin.
With the 2yr warranty Monster gives out, why NOT go with them? Is it a price thing?

I can't speak of Monster since they don't make a LT1 "pull" clutch but I love my McLeod street twin.
If you like the Monster product, and I hear many do, I assume it would be fine
the RXT is a "puc" type disc so they are more prone to chatter than a full face organic disc but are the type of disc you want if hitting the 1/4 mi on a regular basis

Awesome to hear! I recommend our master to every customer with a twin disc even though it's "technically" not needed. It just makes the shifting experience that much better.
Even if the stock master is adequate in disengaging a twin disc clutch, it sure doesn't give the feeling that the clutch pedal is "springing back" towards you during reengagement. The reengagement that our master offer over the stock master will allow you a much faster shift and gain valuable E.T. at the track or on the street.
It also just plain feels better IMO. Glad you guys like them!

The McLeod isn't puck style. Looks like a centerforce dual friction disc just a lot better. I don't have any chatter. I won't buy a monster clutch and I'll just leave it at that 
. But it was not fun installing the new tick master cylinder but so glad I did. I also run the speed bleeder. My buddys all thought I was nuts buying one. Now they understand haha.

And yes, McLeod does offer adjustable MCs and so does RAM.

I love my RXT clutch. Pedal feels like stock. I'm glad I went ahead and paid the price..I also went with a Mcleod billet steel flywheel and tick speed bleeder.

My point was for "LS" cars you can use a "stock" FW vs on a LT1 you need to use the "twin" FW from McLeod.
I did not mean run a warped FW that was out of spec or one that had not been resurfaced.
Ideally, yes a "new billet" FW is superior to a cast OEM one even if it is within spec and has been resurfaced.
I had a "billet" FW with 2k mi on it when I swapped to the McLeod Street Twin, unfortunately I could not use that FW with the twin on the LT1. Had I had a LS with a billet for a single disc I could have
Fortunately I was albe to sell my billet FW for the single disc clutch
yes I agree, and assume you as a vendor deal with the "my shiat does not work" calls alot from people installing a new clutch with a FU FW.
