What are you MT82 guys running for a clutch and flywheel. They stick clutch with 4000 miles on it couldn't handle 600hp and slips really bad on the dyno and even worse on the street. Was able to put down 600rhwp on 93 with a badly slipping clutch and when I went over to e85 it couldn't hold it. I'm look at the McLeod rxt/rst with their billet flywbeel but wanted to see what others have.

For mine I was uneasy about the unspring hub design of the RXT. Tranny damage. The RST perhaps too. So I went with Alex Flores' Youtube recommendation of the Mantic clutch. Expensive but grips like a vise. Street manners aren't too bad. A bit of chatter when starting off sometimes. The nice thing is that it can be slipped! Not an on/off switch like other puck clutches I have used throughout the years.

The factory clutch cannot last at really anything above 7500. It wasn't my torque that exploded it so much the rpms.

Drivability on the RST is good. Most of the time it feels like stock.

Looks nice but almost $500.00 more.

I'd argue it's $500 more clutch :p

I actually came out very well price wise compared to my RXT purchase previously which makes this clutch an absolute steal IMO.
