For those who haven't seen a McLeod RST twin disc up close....

[Ant]

I am using a Tilton 66-302UG, 7.25" 2-PL, CERAMETALLIC, ULTRA HIGH RATIO, STEP-TYPE (740 LB-FT CAPACITY) with button flywheel and flexplate.

Havent tried this Rally type clutch yet so I cant comment on durability, I have used the std 7.25" sintered bronze race plates and they lasted surprisingly well with limited road use and positive driving!
I am not a fan of the organic riveted linings, go to the track and all I ended up with a disintegrated clutch plate!

With the button flywheel/flexplate the engine will have a noticeable quickness in the way it increases and decreases rpms, I guess there is some power to be gained and not sure as I run a Jerico trans whether there will any advantage in gear changing...!!

I had the same set up, its a very fast set up but the twin disc I got from Brent is much much more streatable and pleasant to drive. To anyone asking if its worth the exrtra money the answer is yes. If you want to be able to get in your car and not worry about driveability it cant be beat.

It depends on how much horsepower you're dealing with. If you have around 500-550 there are certainly cheaper clutch kits to deal with that and do it smoothly. However, once you get over that horsepower amount, the disc materials start getting a little more exotic and you start running into the possibilities of chatter or instant engagement.
