I will be getting rid of my McLeod twin since I do not have the blower anymore. It's kinda overkill for a cam/exhaust/bolt on car. I am going with a Spec 3. I am selling the street twin setup/pressure plate/flywheel/adjustable master cylinder as one package. Sells for $1166 new from Thunder. Has 1,800 miles on the setup- street only miles. PM me if interested.

I have not killed mine yet. Then again I'm only at 425 or so to the wheels. I hope to up that and give it a run for the money with the N20.

Well, they aren't your run of the mill clutch. They are rated at over 1,000rwhp. Good luck breaking them, unless you break it in at the track I don't think that you will have an easy time tearing one up.

We've destroyed a few of them. The disk material fell apart. This was 2 years ago.

Youll be fine with a mcloed twin disk with that much hp

What kind of boost did they see though?

If price is no object, order one of the $4000.00 Tilton multi disk clutches. I'm sure several of us have always wondered if they are worth it.

I"ve had mine in for about 6 months now and beat it up regularly. I think my rear is going to break way before this clutch setup. I must agree, this clutch grabs sick! If during racing I ever made it into 5th I probably chirp it too. I mean every gear rips with this clutch.
