Clutch recommendations. I hate to open up this can of worms, but here goes:
Last saturday at the track I finished off my 33k mile stock clutch.
I need a clutch that will hold hard drag strip launches with 400 rwhp. I may add nitrous next year for at least 550 rwhp. I'm planning to run on either Hoosier slicks or ET streets with 3.73 or 3.90 rear and a hardened output shaft. I would also like the pedal effort to be as close to stock as possible.
What do you guys recommend?
Eric

Re: Clutch recommendations. The setup I'm going with is the Mcleod Master, replacement 2002 Z06 slave, and mcleod single disk with aluminum flywheel.
My mcleod twin disk was just simply too awesome to ignore, so I'm gonna stick with mcleod and give them a chance with my C5 as well. This is also the clutch that Jayson at MTI recommended for me (except with a steel flywheel).

Re: Clutch recommendations. CARTEK clutch seems to work as well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
