Clutch Kits?

I'm at it, again. Looking into upgrading the clutch assembly... I see single and twin disc set-ups, stage kits, steel or aluminum flywheels. I'm looking for a near-stock pedal feel, but a little additional power handling capability. Reliability is just as important. I'm getting mixed results in my online search of some reputable manufacturers(McLeod, RAM, Spec, Centerforce, Exedy, etc.)

It's my daily driver, to see a handful of visits-per-year to a road-course... may take a crack at a drag-strip for the experience of it.

After hearing complaints about SPEC, I'd lean towards McLeod. The RST Twin Disc kit handles 800HP and I'd also go with the steel flywheel.

I've been going back and forth between the McLeod RST and the RAM Force 9.5 Street Dual... the RST sounds like it should fit the bill. Now, I'll be looking up the attributes of the flywheel material choices. Thanks.

Try this friend. I did a Google search of aluminum vs steel flywheels.

Aluminum will free up a few horses just because of less weight. They tend to chatter a bit more than steel though. Not as important as clutch selection. Either flywheel will work.
