Very interested in your verdict as well, I'm also eyeballing the Tilton ST-246 for my build but haven't seen too many reviews for them.

I had a Mcleod RXT on the shelf but sold it after driving a few that I installed in other people's cars, didn't care for how grabby they were when taking off and also didn't care for the amount of floater rattle in neutral. Hoping the Tilton is better in both areas.

Recently installed a Monster LT1-S twin disc in a supercharged 2006 GTO, and it's a really nice clutch. Drives like a stock GM clutch in terms of effort, engagement smoothness, and noise, but it should-- it's a heavily reworked GM clutch.

Trying to decide between the Tilton ST-246 or a Monster LT1-S triple disc in my car.

The Tilton is dead quite with the clutch pushed in. The pedal force is about the same as the DYAD. The launch is smooth and chatter free most times. If you lug it and don’t give the engine a few revs it can chatter a small amount. If adapted my launches a little and add 500 rpm and it is smooth.

So far the hi rpm reserve is very good. I have not tracked it yet but form the little bit I have drove it I like it. (I only have 200 miles on the car).

DYAD 7.25/10 rating. Negative rattles at idle when it has some miles on it. It too can chatter sometimes. Need a custom throw out bearing. Great high rpm reserve. Work awesome on the track. No issues.

Tilton 8/10 rating Does not rattle at idle. Does not need a special throw out bearing. Had a small chatter at a very soft launch. I have not tracked it yet.

This is my “Race Track” screen. One of the biggest reasons I did Dakota Digital is so I could get this set up. Full analog gauges plus a DIC (Drivers Information Center) that shows - Tire pressures, Engine Oil Temp, Diff Temp and Trans Temp. The only think I don’t have is fuel pressure on the dash. It is on the CAN bus and I thought it would display. I can data log it and look at it later which is sometime better. Something else to sort out.

Also why I went with Dakota Digital, great looking stuff and the ability to do way more than standard gauges.

That white is the perfect shade of white! Did we ever find the name of which VW white it is?

It looks exactly like my old 1989 VW GTI and they called it Alpine White L90E paint code but, Maybe it is newer paint code.

For what it is worth we chassis dyno-ed my car on Friday. 812 HP to the tires. On winter blend 93 octane fuel.

I have put 200 miles on the car so far and did get a chance to stand on it yesterday. First off it is sketchy fast on 32 degree tires. With less torque than the 427 engines it is a bit easier to pedal to keep straight.

The high boost 6.2 liter sounds different from the lower boost 7.0 liter. It revs quickly and hits hard. My un-scientific test of a sprint to 150 mph this car is on pair with my past projects. (Of course closed course it a professional driver).

On the prototype mufflers that we had made. They are LOUD. Like squirrel dropping out of tree loud. Like setting of my neighbors car alarms LOUD. You know LOUD. On a positive note it has a very deep note at idle.

I will get Hooker to redesign the mufflers and add resonators. We are doing a little R&D for Hooker Black heart.

Ok I have 200 miles on Apex now. Getting some bugs worked out.

Clutch is working smoother. Katech has the cal closer. Car hits the tires fairly hard.

Low effort burn out. On a 60 degree MI day it seemed like the thing to do.

Good info, thanks. The Tilton sounds very promising, and at a reasonable price too. Look forward to more info after you get more miles on it. You went with the organic discs and not the cerametallic discs, correct?
