I would stick with a steel flywheel for improved low-speed driveability. McLeod RST would be my pick.

Go with the Mcleod RXT. The RST is an organic disc and will not hold up as long as the RXT. I just installed a RXT on Sunday. It is just as smooth as the stock clutch.

Lightened steel flywheel for sure and I would do the Mcleod RXT.

Rich,
I'd recommend the Mcleod RXT setup with their lightened steel flywheel. That's the same setup we have been using on all of our shop cars including our Whipple Powered 2015 GT that's gone 9.7@150mph. The RXT is very smooth, has a light pedal feel and is easy to drive. In addition to that it can also take a serious beating.

We've got an awesome promotion on Mcleod coming up next week so it would be a great time to purchase one. Be on the lookout for info about the sale which will be released at the end of this week.

If you have any other questions or need assistance placing the order please feel free to give us a call.

Thanks, Jared

Getting ready to install my RXT and lightened steel flywheel next weekend. I have been seeing comments on a crank re-learn when changing clutches. Anyone provide more insight to that?

A crank relearns need to be done when doing a clutch/flywheel swap. An SCT X4, dealer or shop that has an IDS tool, or the Whipple flare tool have the ability to do a crank relearn.

I used my whipple flare to do it. It is really easy.

did the clutch peddle get any heavier ?

 

[caustin69]

This! Plus, the engagement is the same. This clutch is amazing!

I'm planning on picking up an RXT w/ steel flywheel next week from Lethal. I'm more than likely going to use the stock clutch until the Paxton SC wears it out. When I make the swap, What's the process for the crank relearn? I haven't done it before. I have an SCT X4.

What benefits do you get from going twin disc from a single disk?

The amount of power that it can hold. There are really no disadvantages of going with the RXT. This is by far the best clutch that I have ever used.

I'm thinking about doing this and the aluminum fly wheel. Bone stock motor but intending on a GT350 top end kit + Procharger.
