They are great clutches.
I purchased one and one of their 22 lb flywheels for my 496.
Call their tech services line as they offer numerous different clutches depending on your driving style, performance needs and hp/tq specs.
Talk to them about dual disk, different composites, hydraulic and manual.
The type and style I purchased for my build and needs could be all wrong for yours.

Thank you

Should it be a 10,5 or 11” clutch in a Corvette?

My 76 is 11”. I bought the McLeod dusl disc ceramic clutch. Probably overkill going with ceramic but eventually I’m putting boost in the car. I’m told the pedal pressure is about stock. Haven’t installed yet.

this will repack my centerforce dusl friction clutch which I fried at the track.

Yes, the dual disc RST is what yo want. Easily holds BB torque with a light pedal. It's a street clutch so won't chatter or grab. Mine is 10 years old now and still going strong.

RST dual disc too. It is firm but not bad. And holds the power
