Planning a turbo build, expecting to be in the 700 rwhp range. I've heard great things about the RXT, but can I run it with a stock LS1 flywheel? Can I run the LS6 slave cylinder that is already installed? Can I keep my Tick adjustable master?
Lots of questions. Any help is much appreciated.

The RXT also states you must run a minimum 13/16" bore slave cylinder. Cannot seem to locate what size bore the LS6 slave is, as that's the one I'm currently running.

I don't have the RST/RXT twin but the "street twin" for the LT1. It also requires a 13/16" MC. MC and billet FW are part of the kit for LT1. LSx twins you can use your stock FW (suggest resurface) and stock "slave/TO bearing"
If your stock FW is trashed get the billet one.
McLeod sells MC (made by Wilwood) or many use the TICK but I don't know its bore size.

It was what most call a "stage 2" t56 (billet keys, bronze pads, carbon blockers etc) for 4 seasons. Went 10.40s/135mph at 3850lbs with it. Last year I freshened that trans (only needed new pads) and put it in my truck and built a faceplated t56 for the camaro. Still on the stock main shaft for now. If I break it with the turbos I'll put a 30 spline in it.

As far as large bore master cylinder are concerned we recommend factory hydraulics both master and slave. The pressure plate was designed around the stroke of the factory master and slave combination. When you introduce large bore master cylinders such as our McLeod 13/16" or Tick 7/8" this makes the slave cylinder travel farther which can over center the pressure plate causing the discs to prematurely burn up.

You can run the factory LS1/LS6 factory flat style flywheel. If you decide to go aftermarket make sure the center crank hole relief is no larger than 6.250" otherwise the discs will sit in open air and not on a drive surface.

If I were to go with an aftermarket FW, are there any you'd specifically recommend for use with the RXT?
Who's running the best price on the RXT these days? Looks like I can grab one from Co Speed for $842.40 shipped to my door. Any sponsors able to beat that?

Well, I've officially taken the jump into the world of FI with the Huron Speed V2 kit.
If anyone can beat the aforementioned Colorado Speed McLeod RXT price, please let me know! Otherwise, will be placing a large orger with them here shortly!
