Clutch suggestions I have an 02 C5 which makes around 800 rwhp. I currently have a spec twin disc in the car. Driveability is horrible and the clutch makes alot of noise. I suspect that there is a problem with the install on it. Spec seems like they will work with me on it because the clutch has less than 1k on it. I've had a McLeod twin in another car and loved it. I'm thinking about just switching them out.
Any suggestions?

Just ordered an ACT Twin Disc my car with the organic discs. They make them in many variants for different TQ levels. Price is reasonable for a twin. Car is torn down at the moment so will be a bit before it's on the road. People over on CF love them and nothing bad to be heard about them. Quite a few cars putting some power though them. A&A Corvette recommends and sells them as well.
I am running an Exedy Twin disk on my C5-ZO6.. Very quiet, no chatter fairly light clutch.. Holds 657/562 w/o any issues. My new build should be north of 750 rwhp, so we will see how it does then.

Call Rob at RPS Clutch, he will set you straight. I have 2 Vettes here in the shop now and both I installed the RPS Street Twin Carbon. Great pedal feel but a little stiffer then stock. Excellent holding power on FI cars. No noise from the floater plate and smooth engagement.
They even ship the clutch with ARP allen head bolts, billet steel flywheel, locktite and alignment tool. Rob is top notch to deal with and has beat his delivery date everytime we order.

My SPEC twin is perfectly fine. You must have had an improper install. I'm running solid trans mounts that help also. The rubber mounts tend to flex causing things to move alot.

Call Jason at Texas Drivetrain and Performance and tell him Lance sent ya. He will hook it up for you and give you the best price out there. And his clutches are the business. I have plenty of buddys with over 900hp using the same clutch from him, for 2 years strong. I cannot say certian things on here why there the best and why such a good price. But PM me if you need more info.
