Ok, so I got 90% of my 4 speed parts, what would be the best clutch setup, mcleod? Single or twin disc? Motor makes 590hp and 615 tq, I'm not racing it, just want something to last!
When I was buying my parts last year, everyone steered me towards mcleod. Recommended was twin disc but at the time, I couldn't afford it so I'm running their super streetpro single disc. Seems to be working out fine so far...
I did okay with 600HP and a Mcleod single disc but I didn't run slicks with it and they don't make the B&B style anymore. If you have nothing I would be tempted to go to a dual disc and not worry.
I stay away from Diaphragm clutches altogether they do not work well with Mopar linkage & can stay released when shifting @ high rpm
I have used a lot of the 3 finger type & mostly McLeod & McLeod make a unique Borg & Beck / Long hybrid that is Only available from McLeod .
The Passon 4 spd OD in my 392 Hemi Cuda has a 3-finger RAM disc, which I heard Jamie and Brewers are now pushing instead of McLeod. My '68 Charger has a diaphragm with a 505 stroker and I can tell it is not as tight as the 3-finger.
Hey chryco, would you recommend mcleod twin disc sxt?

yeah I run a McLeod borg and beck recommended from dan at brewers I got the a833 rebuild kit and clutch and its great on my 340 stroker should be fine on my new 493 as well id say , not to heavy and works great
I`ve been running a Centerforce dual friction for 20 years in mine, not a high horsepower (less than 400) engine but has been regularly powershifted at 7000 rpm, lot`s of burnouts and other abuse with Zero issues. I just pulled it apart this spring and it still had some meat left on the discs but the flywheel and pressure plate do need resurfacing/ replacing. I pulled the return spring as recommended to prevent the sticking pedal that chryco mentioned.
