I picked up teh Mcleod SFI Modular bell from a member here, LOVE it. Fitment is spot on, thick, but not too heavy, and quality machining. I like it

Just ordered a quick time, it is ALOT lighter.... There were troubles with both, on had holes in the wrong place (QT) and the other had several fitment issue's(Mcleod) I figure if both had, have, or may have problems, being it's a drag car im going for the lightest one...

Quick Time also has a steel motor plate.

I know they originally came with an aluminum plate and the current steel plate looks to be just a spacer that provides no protection whatsoever.

I could be wrong though.

Now tell me this, which unit is lighter?

also how much weight is this going to add? I will have to purchase one of these as well and I have to see what I can do, to take weight off, if this adds weight...

The QT is 13lbs lighter I had both here and weighed them back to back. If memory serve me correct the QT was 27 lbs with the aluminum front plate.

come on guys just vote

Thats decent, I wonder how much stock weighs

and both are SFI certified Bellhousings, right?

Im planning on running under 10.99s in the 1/4...

I wont vote yet, because I too am looking for one, and dont know which one is better... But since Quick time is lighter, that would get my vote..

in my research so far thats true but the plates that guard the back of the engine with the mcleod it is steel and the quicktime aluminum. steel wont give and aluminum will with ease plus the aluminum plate is thin and the mcleod steel is pretty thick.

now with that all im wondering is how will both protect if something goes wrong...

Although I have a brand new motor, its sad to say. I dont think its worth the extra weight to ave the motor, if my flywheel were to somehow damage it...

But if this, too is referring to saving my legs, then it would be worth it...

But I think this part is for the engine..

Why couldnt they use Titanium for weight savings and strength?!

Cost, a 12"x 12" piece of .090 titanium is about $100

I have the Quick Time one, fit w/o a problem.

i went with the quick time. Both are sfi rated, quick time is lighter, and it seems like all the McLeod's had fitment issues. As far as the motor plate, i'm not saying it doesn't matter to me but the big reason to have a sfi approved bellhousing is personal protection. The motor getting trashed wouldn't make me happy, but i would take that over personal damage.

seriously...

I may go with the quicktime, when I go ahead and get my clutch, and even better that its not gonna have fitment issues..

and well worth it, IMO besides theyre gonna use a longer, but thinner piece to go around... its worth it, if its $100 more for weight savings

Well, it would require more than that, and titanium isnt as strong as you think, its strong and light, but there are steels much stronger... at the same thickness, just alot heavier...IMO, it would take at Least a $150-175 piece to cover it.. As mentioned before, I could care less about the motor, as long as my feet are still there if the clutch lets go....
