Hi all,

Planning on running a Mcleod Super Street Pro behind my 6.0L, L92, 225/230 cammed engine. I am a bit concerned because the clutch is rated at 550hp, and I expect to make 550 hp. Does anyone have experience with this clutch at over 550hp ? It will be bolted to a super T10, 73 Camaro with 308 rear gear. Maybe see the track once a week. Thanks

you should get a twin disc clutch from McLeod if making that kind of power. Don't F around with a single disc, you will regret it.

Yeah the RXT is a good clutch for that power level. Much more driveable then their street twin.

When you install a clutch with a lot more torque capacity than your engine, you will need to soften it's hit or you are going to have bog/spin problems at the dragstrip.

Your current clutch is a good match for your engine's power, but those 3.08's are going to need more clutch slip time than a set of 3.73's. The logical thing to do is to simply step up to a clutch with more torque capacity, but a clutch with more grip is going to lock up quicker. Your super T10 won't like that, as that quick clutch engagement creates a huge torque spike. Installing a twin disc without some sort of engagement buffer will kill your T10 if you have traction.

You can buffer clutch engagement with good left foot control, some get more consistent results from in-line restrictions or external hydraulic delays installed on the linkage or pedal.
