Best adjustable clutch is the Mcleod. Use it myself. I have 200+ 5800 rpm launches on 100 shot of nitrous. the Mcleod single kevlar is still going strong -- knock on wood

I don't think that this is true, my car has a master cylinder, i've seen it, it also has a stainless braided line shown in the drill mod page.

weird...cause i have a spare lt1 transmission i picked up at a swap meet a year or so ago, and it came w/ a mechanical throw-out arm. im not up to date w/ lt1's so much, so maybe i am wrong and your right, but this is what i have always been told about lt1's. another reason i think lt1's dont have master cylinders(or not remotely similar to ls1's) is that on thunder racing's website, if u go to the lt1 tranny section, under mcleod, they dont show anything to do w/ a master cylinder, but if u go to the ls1 section, it shows a master cylinder...maybe im wrong , but good luck
