I have the single disk, it's ok for the street and can handle some basic abuse. At this point though I'm upgrading to a RAM 910 instead. Well worth the money considering you can replace the clutch disk later!

Significantly better clamp pressure with the 910 disk. The 980 disk may be a little more friendly followed by the 6000 and then the 300. The point is, with their setup you can simply change disks when you need to.

Many of the big power M6's here are running it with great praise as well. You certainly could go with a dual disk from McLeod, but I'm more confident in the RAM product at this point.

Running a Mcloud Kevlar/Organic setup here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Peddle pressure is stockish,absolutely no chatter and grabs real good.No track time on it yet.

Had RAM 402/6130 setup before.Clutch grabed real strong,minimul chatter,peddle pressure really sucked(hard as hell no matter how many times I bled it)Clutch melted to the flywheel with under 2k miles on it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> (luckily only a mile from home)Mike from RAM warrentied it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

So my opinion is that I'm more happy with the Mcloud so far.The RAM was unbearable in traffic,but grabed real good at the track.

Good luck on your choice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

After talking to Red and George at McLeod, I'm going with the Rev-Loc II system.. They say it will hold more than the single asbestos/kevlar system..

I, and they, didn't see a pont for my power levels to use the twin setup..

Several of us with H/C set-ups have had issues with the rev-lok II. On a good hooking track with ET streets and launching around 5k I have had pretty bad slippage with this clutch at times. George told me you need a little spin? He says something has to give. I said I would like the tires to come off the ground. They are sending me the revised clutch now because some of these clutches are letting go and taking out the bell housing!!Ill let you know how the revised one works out, but right now Im not real happy with the Mcleod. In hindsight I think I should have tried a Ram as so many have suggested. My .02
