I put ~250 easy city miles on mine then took it straight to the track and turned the nitrous on. Best clutch I've ever driven!

I used the balanced aluminum McLeod flywheel. With the MGW this RXT feels SO much better than the LS7 clutch with the pro 5.0 and stock clutch thats in my SS.

what did mclould say? I think I remember 500?

I think I got like 300 miles on it street driving, that was hard to do. lol then went to the track a few times on DR and kept the psi up a little so the spun off the 2step only getting 1.5 1.6s. never rode it, or bogged. I was hammering on it on the street after 50miles. Drove it a few times, let the catch point come up after it wears all the hi spots off and every sets in, thats in 5-20 miles depending on the setup.

same as jmm- best clutch Ive had. never had slicks on it (yet) just 275 DR, but been mid 1.4s many times. Had it out a few times for other thingsm abd check it all out. Its wearing great, even on all the disc sides ect. I've put 3-4K on it I think and the disc still have alot of meat. I posted all this in my build thread if you want to look it up. New they were .320 thick, few months they were .310, I think they were just under .300 last fall.
