Question Purchasing Clutch/Flywheel need help

Hello everyone,

I think it's about time to upgrade on the clutch and flywheel. I noticed the other day while giving a few runs that my clutch pedal bottomed down to the floor and wouldn't come up. I've researched a few reasons why that might happen and because of the amount of torque I'm generating It's safe to say a new clutch will be in the near future. I've heard Monster, McLeod and ACT are some choices but from personal experience what's in your rides to a similar application that my car has?

No to act. Mine is 2 times harder to push down and slips with just cam. Looking at lt1-s as another replacement

Im twin turbo at 625rwhp 600rwtq and I love my Monster LT1-S triple. I was at the strip last week and did 20 runs slipping the clutch out on the launch and wot shifting and never had a single issue. Plus it drives just like stock. IMO its smoother than stock.

Twin-plate clutch with Hendrix, Monster or McLeod would be good for your future.

Easy install. Pedal is lighter and drives like stock

I read every post on just about every clutch. Even talked to the manufacturers themself. McLeod was more than helpful and responded within 3-4 minutes. Others not so much....Heck, I still haven't received a response from one you mentioned.....

McLeod is probably the way I want to go. I look to adding more power down the line and they have a good name. Thanks for your input and nice set up on your ride.

Pretty much, (4) 3 ton jackstands and (2) 3 ton jacks.

Hardest part is clearing the bottom hardline on the trans.
