Don't you dare! That and Rachel are the two things that keep you sane!

Against my better judgement, today I broke down and pulled the trigger on another clutch set-up--a McLeod RXT which is a dual disc system with ceramic pucs.
McLeod rates this unit up to 1,000 HP. With any luck I'll have it in the car within the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed.

It had the wrong spline discs, would've cost too much to sort it out.

RXT clutch is in. All the gory details of the install are on my FB page.
Test drive report soon.

The first test drive is in the bag--just a brief jaunt around the neighborhood, stayed close to home "just in case", but so far, so good.
The pedal effort is very comfortable, and as far as "driveability", I can already state that this is by far the most street-friendly clutch I've had in the car so far. Zero chatter, even in reverse, very easy to--for lack of better term--ride, not like the previous race clutches which were (to varying degrees) more like an "on/off' switch. I didn't lean on it at all, so as far as holding power goes, the verdict's still out on that. However, should this clutch perform as advertised, I will officially consider myself a McLeod convert. More soon--weather permitting.
