mcleod rst and rxt get great reviews. im going to run the rxt even though im going to be ~630hp. different material than the rst for more forgiveness and both are reported to have incredible pedal feel.

Default I am currently running a monster stage 2

in mine. Made 425/385 at the wheels. I like it a lot better than the Textralia I was running. I tried to stay away from the puck style as they are a little grabby for the street.

Heard good stuff about centerforces new twin disc. A little expensive, but the pedal is a easy as any stock GM clutch. Yancey has one in his 5th and Rupp is running on in Bad Penny.

Depending on how you're going to drive it, I prefer stock LS7 as driveability is excellent. It would be fine with 600hp unless you plan on drag racing it often with sticky tires.

i heard this as well and initially went with an rst. after reading reviews on the rxt which has been out for a few years now, i switched even though it is a puck style. nothing but great reviews on the street.

Default The Textralia that I had

was rated 650 or 750, cannot remember. Had the billet flywheel, anyway it was a little grabby, but I got use to it. Pulled the trans to check something else and my flywheel looked like one from a school bus with 250,000 miles on it. I know how to drive a stick and I am the only one that drives my car and it was blue and cracked. 4500 miles.

I got it around the same time that they, Textralia, was having problem with the distibutor in the US. May have been sent the wrong disc and I would not have known the difference. Anyway, went with more of a standard clutch and was going with the LS7 package but it was sold out at the time.

I am happy with the Monster so far...but I find about anything from GM is good stuff.
