Unhappy Clutch Madness

Hi fellas, I've finally made my decision on WHAT clutch i'm getting ! I decided too go with the Mcleod twin discs with an aluminum fly ( the one rated @ 1100 hp ; I guess ) . Should I go with a steel fly or get the alum? Should I go with a diff master or Mcleod Master ? Should I go with a diff slave or Z06 slave ? A friend of mine tells me its chatter free and stock feel , is this true? Can you slip it any or is it ON or Off ? Is it worth the million dollars they are charging for it? I made the decision too go with it because I saw a 6 6300rpm dumps with it. Sorry for all the questions, but I need 2 order RAT now !!!!! I know the Ram is good, so no feedback on it !!!! Thanks fellas!!!

Its pretty much on/off as far as pedal travel. Not much chatter from my experience. Get the steel flywheel unless you are a road racer, that extra momentum will help to prevent bogging off the line. Personally, I think the clutch is overkill for your setup, a good single disk should be plenty for a lightweight Corvette that won't pull the front tires at the track.

Mcleod master should be fine. Factory slaves are just fine.
