Well due to the info of some of the members on here there has been a change on the clutch. Thanks for the info guys!!!!! There have been some failures on the Katech Ls9r clutch. Decided to go with the McLeod RXT clutch instead.

McLeod RXT is the clutch to have

Congrats! You're gonna LOVE the extra power. Any twin screw is a great choice.

Well here is an update. Clutch, cam, fuel pump are all in. Just waiting for the whipple to arrive, which should be in the next few days. Dynoed 389 rwhp with just an LMR intake. Excited to see some final numbers hopefully this coming up week.

Good choice over the ZR1. I have a McLeod RXT and love it. But i will be going with a Street Slayer triple when this one gives up with my new motor and power. Monster has their twin disc out also.

Street slayer is the way to go. It's like butter.

Build sounds awesome. Forgive my ignorance but can you tell me some more about what you learned about the clutch and why you changed your mind? At what point is the stock clutch sub par? I want to SC and wonder if a clutch is in order? Clearly this is not just about the feel of the clutch pedal....

uniqueskillz · 07-22-2012, 04:21 PM

The clutch has a tendency to stick. (i can't remember at how much hp off the top of my head).

bad bowtie · 07-23-2012, 09:29 AM

The factory clutch has already been replaced once at the dealership. They said the culprit was not properly torqued flywheel bolts. Second factory clutch, pedal has stuck to the floor twice on me at stock power. Now with upgrades i dont want to chance the clutch giving out and figured i would get it done all at once!
