Default Cartek Level 8

I've got a Cartek Level 8. It's very nice. No chatter and it's rated 700/700.

Our Cartek clutch is rated for 700RWHP/700RWTQ…drivability is very close to stock.

If your interested just shoot me a pm or call.

The McLeod Street Twin setup is your BEST choice... everything else is just second rate...

The McLeod Street Twin is just as streetable as a stock clutch, but will hold over 800rwhp. I loved that clutch... When I bought my LS1 car though, I decided on the LS7 clutch. Just couldnt justify a twin-disk on a stock car.

really it rated at 700rwhp/700rwtq?? damn mine exploded and went through my firewall in my corvette, and i was making 630rwhp 640 rwtq with a 100shot. did a lot of damage, tore up my firewall of course (which is bitch to replace) tore up the engine harness (not fixable), and guess what when i told you guys , you guys told me to shove it pretty much.

I have the Textralia OZ700. Hands down best clutch for street driving IMO. Rated at 700whp, but I've seen plenty of people using it with 900+whp applications

I have a Ram twin disk in mine and love it. The pedal is damn near to stock and it is great at the track or on the street.

yep it does.......... they told me when i ordered it , that it had a nodular iron pressure ring...... like a ram, or a textralia would have...... well i just put it in clutch drove great, actually had pretty good drivability. then boom exploded on me. when i took the car apart and pulled the pieces of the fractured pressure ring out of my firewall, i could clearly see that it was a cast pressure ring, and after talking to some people in the know, i was told that is a truck pressure plate.
