It was the Kevlar disc. Really the beefiest clutch disc I have ever seen for a LT1 hands down... Big springs, massive center section construction... I would HIGHLY doubt that it would ever have a clutch disc failure outside of people burning them from being stupid...

The kit was also as complete as they get, as it included the alignment tool, a bronze pilot bushing and stainless steel roller pilot bearing, decent instructions and the clutch disc is wrapped seperately from the rest as well as the pressure plate as well. In other words I highly doubt if the box isn't curshed anything would be messed up in shipping. In comparison I originally orderd a RAM Powergrip HD and the box was fine, but the pressure plate crushed the clutch disc and warped it. So I orderd a Zoom HP as a quick replacement and am extremely happy as a result...

I did not know that Zoom makes a dual disc clutch for the LT1... I'll have to look that up...

By the way the OEM replacement with McLoed disc is holding up great.

Is the Mcleod Twin Disc overkill for an essentially stock car? Actually, I'm sure it probably is, but would that clutch work well at lower power levels? I would rather pay for a good clutch, than save money and put some junk on my car. I just want a good clutch that's beefier than the stock setup. The O'Reilly's setup sounds like a decent alternative based on what I've read.
