I had a Mcleod RXT clutch in my old Kenne Bell setup and then I sold the supercharger and decided to go for more power. The RXT was a great clutch with awesome pedal feel and worked real well for my old setup. Well with my new motor build underway and my new twin turbo setup about to go in I was afraid the RXT wouldn't be enough for the power that I am trying to achieve. Even though the RXT is rated to 1000hp, I didn't want it to be the only limiting factor when I am trying to achieve the maximum power output that my new motor and my new turbo setup can put out. So researching different types of clutches that are rated higher than 1000hp so I researched the Spec ST-trim rated for 1595lb torque and the Spec E-trim rated for 1795lb torque. The Spec E-trim was considered but after talking to someone who had it they told me that is a total drag car clutch that is on and off, basically made for cars that people just drop the clutch at high rpms. So then I started looking into the ST-trim and found someone who own that clutch also. Off their recommendation that the clutch isn't forgiving on the streets as the engagement point is really precise and you have to get use to finding the engagement.
Afraid of trying to get use to a race clutch I called Mcleod up and told them about my application and that I wanted a clutch that can handle more than 1500hp and had good drivability. The sales person took my number and said they needed to talk to their techs and then give me a call back. They called back and said they developed a custom made clutch based on their "Original" Twin Disk pressure plate and some specially made clutch disc with some aggressive materials and some special plates in between. The part number was just made and it can not be found in any publication they have on their website or on the internet. It's Part number 64318-00-07M. Here are the pics.
I can't wait to install it and see what it can do. I will post feed back as soon as I get everything broken in.
