Which Clutch?? RAM or McLeod?? I am trying to decide on which clutch to get. I was looking at a ram 6130 setup but the local performance shop said he prefers Mcleod. I plan on forced induction in the future so I want something that will work well with that. I dont know if FI motors would work better with aluminum or steel flywheel. Anyone run the Mcleod rev lok II or double disk mcleod? Im not worried about driveability or chatter. The car is weekend and track use only. I just want somethin to grab and hold well with FI. I also plan on doing adjustable master and new slave. My car is an 00 Z28. TIA

Re: Which Clutch?? RAM or McLeod?? well I have a cartek in my car <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> All I can say is that it's strong enough to hurt my 12 bolt 2 times <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
Re: Which Clutch?? RAM or McLeod?? I have a mcleod single disk and it has been perfect for me. The petal is easier to push than the stocker was, and man does this clutch grab gears! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Re: Which Clutch?? RAM or McLeod?? I have used and abused the McLeod steel flywheel single kevlar disk I have.
Let's see here. Many, many,6400rpm dumps on slicks..no clutch slippage. Hotlapped the car back to back about five times in a row within minutes of each other and the clutch still never slipped but the brakes started to fade..lol.
I pulled the Kevlar disk that I had in there for over a year, 15k miles and with 300-400+ launches on it and looked like it wasn't really even half worn compared to the new Kevlar disk I put in. I'm still using the same old flywheel and pressure too.
I don't have any experiences with the RAM yet but the McLeod is a proven winner for sure with the adj master.

The rev-lok setups uses a moddified stock pressure plate and a sinterted iron disk. The regular mcleod single disk uses their own pressure plate with the option of the organic/organic disk (standard) or the kevlar/organic disk (optional). Make sure you get the optional disk. I went through 2 org./org. disks before I wised up and purchased the kev/org. version.

Re: Which Clutch?? RAM or McLeod?? I've actually found the McLeod twin to be very driveable on the street. I was a little concerned before I got it, but driving it is a cinch. The only negative is stiff clutch pedal pressure, but anyone who whines about that is probably not the type of person who wants a high performance clutch.

Re: Which Clutch?? RAM or McLeod?? well...I'm running the original RevLok (the prototype) which is 1/2" bigger in diameter than the production piece.
All I can say is that don't run this clutch with a 10-bolt LOL
I also ran the same clutch as Smokeur50 for 22K miles and it looked new when I took it out <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> That was the clutch I had when I went 10.83 @ 129 on the NAWS <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
