I am getting the Cartek clutch from www.cartek.net installed as we speak.

If you do a search for "cartek clutch" you will see that almost everyone that has one, raves about it.

For $1500, I would get a $300 Ram clutch, and PP, resurface your stock flywheel for $30, and modify your stock master cylinder for under $50 in parts. The $1120 you saved can be sent to jhibberd@home.com via paypal <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I'm one of those Cartek guys. It holds good enough to twist the stock driveshaft completely in half, and make my front wheels come off the ground. No complaints!

I own a Cartek (don't have much horsepower) and so far I couldn't be happier ( maybe my wallet could <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> ).

I'm suprised we don't see more people using the McLeod TwinDisk. A buddy of mine broke his T/A and 12bolt with his!

Someone was testing a McLeod PP with a STEEL disk, that apparently was holding up really well. Haven't heard much about it for a while though. Who was that?

RAM or Cartek.

I had a ram metallic disk and their PP in my LT1, but I switched to a Street Twin with the 396. I was unaware that McLeod has an LS1 version of the twin.

I'd probably do cartek, but making certain i got the hyd. setup too.

Eric! Come on man! You've seen all the chit I've dished out to my McLeod! It's been in there over a year and still holding strong enough to break all 5 wheel studs off on one occasion, a driver side axle in the 10 bolt and bend my frickin torque arm. I think they go for $850 these days and that's with everything!

hey if you want email me and I may be able to get you a decent deal on one if your not in a hurry.
