Stock replacement GM slave and master with the Green Monster clutch lv 4 and just made 704rwhp with no slip or nothing, very close to stock pedal pressure. I will only use monster clutches from now on

You wont find a more streetable clutch that can easily take abuse from 600, 700, 800 plus hp than the RPS Carbon... I've tried them all an this one rocks... almost factory feel on the street, but an absolute animal on the track... Not the cheapest, but certainly the best. IMHO of course.... RPS also has exceptional sales and customer service staff...

spec 3+ the best single disk clutch out period. Cheap at $550 compared to $1000+
My exact combo is a oem iron disc and a spec 3+ with a tick master slave. perfect for upto 750rwtq. No problems shifting at the track at high rpms on a slick..not many can say that.

I only swap a few dozen clutches per year behind FI mills, prolly better to hear from Doug/ECS or Andy/AA


Thanks Steve,
We have been very happy with the Mantic line of clutches. We have been using for the last year or so. We have track tested and high HP tested so far and they are holding up fantastic while performing with a stock feel to them.

I have a monster stage 3, and it whines and chatters unless you slip it out at higher RPM's.

Yes I broke it in correctly with 500-600 of city driving.

I'll be going with a Mcleod RXT when the TR6060 goes in.

Have you taken a look at our Tick/Monster COMPLETE Clutch Swap Package? It includes EVERYTHING you should replace/upgrade while doing a clutch, sold at a discounted rate here: http://www.tickperformance.com/97-04...-swap-package/

Monster is our best selling Single Disc clutch.
McLeod is our best selling Twin Disc.

You can't go wrong with either brand!

ACT Twin. They truly drive as smooth as factory. And are a bargain.

The higher you slip it the more it glazes, which means the more it chatters and makes noises. It's counter intuitive, but you can't over slip this clutch like a stock clutch and have to adjust your driving style slightly. It's easier to show this to a customer in person, but feel free to call me and I'll do my best to explain it to you over the phone, thanks.

I went with the ACT twin T1-G1 on my latest build. Awesome clutch. No drama.

Didn't like the chatter on the previous clutch.

These are the only 2 clutches we offer after all the testing/blowing up we've done.

Both have light peddle pressure's and very drivable. Most Vette guy's get the RXT and we have yet to take one out.
