i have the mcloud street twin it will hold anything but it doesnt like the street or rush hour. so i wouldnt do it if it was a daily driver. oh yeah it will also break alot of parts and it does have a nice price tag attached to it

What mods do you have on the car, approx power, and what is the car mainly used for?

it has a cold air intake, 350 hp LT1, brand new transmission, and its uses are split between street racing and driving normally. i usually race it nightly so...... other then that i cant think of any other mods of the top of my head

SPEC stage 2 for best blend of grip and driveability.

I went with a SPEC Stage 3, but it LOVES to grenade 10 bolts, even under stock power.

Question

i finally put in the new clutch. i got the SPEC stage 2+ and let me tell you what..it runs great. now my next step is to do something about the suspension. i live in new orleans and the roads are so bad that my car hits every pot hole and every bump which makes it bottoms out about 3 times a week. it already had a lowering kit put on it before i got it so..... i need to raise it back to its origianal higth and have it take the bumps better then what it does. the bad part about that is that i think they cut the spring to lower but i am not sure. any advice?

I would NOT recomend the Zoom clutch. It's $520 or $550 something in Jegs and I got mine for a discount through a wholesale company at $279 and I hate it. The engagement is terrible.

Does ANYONE have the street twin clutch on their car that IS a daily driver? Just seeing if people have had different experiences with this clutch.
