So I have been digging and digging and think ZR1 is right for me but I am not sure.

Here are the details.

LSX Block
+700hp
Daily Driven
M6 Transmission

Mcloed rxt, street slayer, mantic 9000, monster lt-1 series, are the only ones id consider for 700hp.

i have a street slayer in mine love it

blake-b · 06-30-2015, 06:14 PM

I had the ZR1. It worked fine unless you drive the car hard. If you do that, it will suffer from the dead pedal syndrome where it won't come up off the floor and you have to pull it up with your foot.

Then I had a McLeod street twin (1200hp version). It worked fine until I broke the engine. Now I have a triple street slayer but haven't driven the car because it is still being built.

RXT here, no problems whatsoever

jrhagen · 06-30-2015, 08:10 PM

I have the ZR1 with near as makes no difference 700 hp. I don't DD the car but it is very smooth and have had zero issues at the strip.

I have the Street Slayer in mine, I would not go with the zr-1.

LSXBumblebee · 07-01-2015, 02:28 PM

Ok, so after reading a bunch looks like either the RXT or the LT1-SC. Both are about the same price, both claim good street drive-ability.

What does Andy at ADM recommend?

I have the zr1 clutch and have 700rwhp and had no problems with my clutch. It's very smooth and a hell of a lot better than stock.

Fraxum · 07-02-2015, 05:25 AM

I have a Street Slayer Carbon and so far so good. 615rwhp/630tq.

I did have a Centerforce DYAD before that. Stay away from that one, especially considering what they said about their own clutch.

urr2slo · 07-03-2015, 01:08 AM

I've been using the CenterForce DYAD since early 2010. I'm putting down just over 700hp and I've loved it. Got 87k out of the first one and currently have 27k on the 2nd one. Great clutch for DD use that you can flog on the weekends. I have over 70 track days on them, drag, road course and auto-x.
My 2nd one has some additional updates that my original early production one didn't making it even more user friendly.
Currently building an LSX for my car as the original LS3 is getting a little tired and going to use another DYAD. Several of my friends with bigger horsepower cars are running them as well with great results.
