Default Clutch Masters 850

I'm looking for a dependable clutch and found the following web page: http://www.clutchmasters.com/2002-2004-5-7l-ls6/
Has anybody used any of these products. They are expensive, but they look very impressive. I read a review from a BMW guy for one of their Race/Street applications and it seems like this is a really good quality product. For this review, go to: www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366681
I've heard some negative things about every other clutch manufacture, Mantic, Monster, Centerforce, Mcleod, etc. and don't want to have to dig into the clutch once I have everything back together.
I'm going to throw this over to the Road Race/Autocross guys as well.
Thanks.

Call Doug or Chris at ECS. They install more clutches than most shops and do so on many high HP BOOSTED Applications. They will have the MOST UP-TO DATE info on the recommended clutches that work on our cars.. They will be more than happy to provide you the best info and recommend the correct clutch for your application.

Clutch Masters makes nice stuff, but I don't know anyone who has used one on an LS. I have a McLeod RST and like it. Good luck.

Thanks for tip about ECS.
I am interested in McLeod, as well, but I was thinking RXT due the HPDEs I do.
Thanks for the help.

I've heard the RXT is a little grabbier/harsher-engaging but still streetable. I went with the RST because I wanted it to be really smooth and easy for daily driving, and it delivers. I do HPDEs and am making around 500HP.

From the Autocross/Road Race guys I learned about RPS BC2. Apparently this is a really good clutch.
