Default mcleod twin disk???

i had planned on a spec twin disk but i keep heairng horrible things about it only having 1/2 an inch of modulation (between initial engagement and 100%)...i'm 6'2" so i don't want to have to suck my knee up into my mouth to modulate the clutch all the way at the top of the pedal motion in heavy traffic - thanx, but no thanx.

then i heard about this new twin disk from mcleod and i've looked everywhere to try and find how much it can hold - i've tried every vendor i can get a hold of and thier website - no dice.

anybody know??? i'm planning on about 900rwhp so the spec twin was right up my alley

Most twins I've seen release just that way. I prefer it though really.
an adjustable master can really help take the freeplay out of the pedal though. if thats what you need/ are looking for.

I've got a chance to pick up a P trim Spec twin disc with 500 miles on it for $800 from a reputable guy, but you guys have me thinking on the mc cloud.

I like the Mcleod because of the pressure plate design. It is multi-coil sprung instead of a single diaphram spring.
