Have you driven a Spec 3+ on a modified Terminator? How does the Spec compare with the Mcleod? I remember reading that you were going with a RST originally? So you went with an RXT? What changed your mind?
Best 26 spline street clutch?

Yes I have. I have driven a couple of them actually. The Spec 3+ has a stiffer pedal than the McLeod and makes a hissing noise when slowly letting out of the clutch. I just did not like it.
My number one priority with a clutch was driveability. I was a little apprehensive by going with the RXT because I did not want any chatter. I had a long conversation with Jared @ Lethal and he assured me the RXT would be fine. I also have read a few reviews that the RST was slipping on 500+ HP cars so the RXT was the choice.
It was a gamble because I still was nervous with the compound of the RXT discs but that all went away after driving it. It truly is the best clutch I have ever driven in a street car.
I can assure you that my RST does not slip @525rwhp and is a great light pedal street clutch. Having said that, the RXT is better suited for drag racing launches.

Kinda weird to hear that you think a Dual Friction sucks for driving around. I daily drove my car with a Centerforce DF and it was great for traffic and had exactly no chatter...pretty much the exact opposite of what you're describing. IMO it's a great clutch in its price range for normal driving if it's installed and broken-in correctly. It didn't hold up to powershifting too well so I switched to a DFX...which acts more like what you're describing. It doesn't bother me even though I DD my car...I guess people are just getting too picky these days. If I get anything after this clutch it'd be a Mcleod.. a friend of mine had one and said it was the best clutch he'd ever felt in his entire life. Definitely a great choice if you want a clutch that is great for normal driving and hold a lot of power.
I went with the RXT and Ford Racing aluminum flywheel...just waiting for it to come in the mail along with the full MM setup (k member/coilover).
I had RXT installed with new mcleod alum flywheel. Still breaking it in but I think I'm going to love this clutch. At 350 miles my only real issue is the clutch engages in the top half of the pedal travel , but I'm getting used to it.Mcleod told me I wouldn't need the adjustable pivot ball so it wasn't used. Now I have a very light rattle at idle in neutral that stops when pedal is depressed. Normally I would worry about the TOB but brand new Ford HD TOB with Lethal retainer sleeve, so I think it is the floater plate, but probably wouldn't even notice it if I wasn't straining to hear it.
Spec 3 + FAN HERE....i have heard great things about the mcleod stuff
I have a Spec 3 clutch with a Fidanza billet steel flywheel. I F**king HATE this clutch. All it does is chatter... Holding capability is great while going WOT and powershifting but it's not good for much else, IMO.
I plan on going either 3+ or RXT when I do the viper spec upgrade in 2012..
