GT500 Clutch Recommendation

[GarageLogic]

Well, after surviving 20K plus miles at 650+ rwhp, the stock clutch in my GT500 had decided to give up the ghost. I am looking at an aftermarket replacement and was wonder what some of you higher horsepower guys would recommend. The car does see the 1/4 mile tracks 10-12 times a year, so it needs to be able to handle 700+rwhp on a consistent and reliable basis.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody have an opinion regarding the McLeod RST/RXT Street Twin setup for the GT500. I have run McLeod units in other applications with great success before but not with the kind of power my KB GT500 is making.

Finally installed the RXT this weekend and all I can say is wow, what an improvement. Clutch pedal effort is much, much lighter and the engagement is smooth as silk. I've not had a chance to get it to the track yet and probably won't until after the 45th in Birmingham next weekend.

Did you have to do anything to the wheels to accept the 5/8 studs?

Believe it or not, stock clutch is great, good for 1000hp.

I'd stay with stock
