Default Mcleod twins all that

How many C5's are running with the new Mcleod twin setups?

I'm thinking about giving those guys one more shot in my C5.

I've been burned in the past by them in the order of two Mcleod singles (actually three), two of their masters, and one of their Twins in my former f-body.

Should I give them another chance? If it fails again I'm likely to take the clutch to them for an in person return. It wouldn't be pretty.

My car is an ARE 427 ZO6. I used the Spec clutch which was and absolute joke. I repaced the Spec clutch with a Cartek. Best clutch on the market. Nothing else is even close. Don't waste your time or money on anything else. In my 2000 C5 with a 422 I have the McLeod twin disc. While it is manageable it it no match for the Cartek clutch. Nick has my ARE427 ZO6 currently for an ATI SC install. He has posted NA resuslts on this thread.

Hey Andy, thanks for the feedback. I did send you a response to your email, but it returned undeliverable. A supercharged 427! oh my! Keep us updated that's going to be one mean machine. <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
