Pros or cons between these two? One better than the other or am I safe going with either? I'm not trying to compare others at this time, thanks.

we sell both... both are very good clutches, I am starting to sell more mantic's as I can get a mantic clutch faster then a McLeod (if they are out of stock on require parts to build the clutches)... In my opinion the mantic 9000 series with ceramic discs, and the McLeod rxt are a close in drivability. We much prefer the mantic 9000 series in the organic, over the Mcleod RST with organic discs... Before we got on board with mantic, the RXT was our go to clutch for every c6 z

Good to hear, thanks.

I've driven both and played with both. I think the mantic is slightly better but you pay $200-400 more for it. If money isn't a concern do the mantic.

We sell so many rst/rxt clutches it's not even funny. You won't go wrong with either honestly.

i like my mantic now that its broken in

I'm in the same boat... I can't make my mind up between the mantic 9k or the McLeod.
Which one will hold the power and allow you to slip the clutch at the drag strip and doesn't have a problem doing full throttle shifts at higher RPM's??? 7500rpm.

Not trying to thread jack at all, but I was gonna make the same thread asking the same thing.
Some people have told me get the McLeod, others say the mantic 9k..
I street drive mine almost daily with a fairly aggressive cam, I slip the crap out of the clutch at the track and I full throttle shift. Making 625whp and 560tq on motor, but adding a 100 shot, so I gotta have something that will hold better than the DYAD that has started slipping on me.

I am making 550 rwhp NA and about to do new heads and a 100 wet shot. I ran a RXT in my 830 rwhp 2003 Cobra and really liked it but have heard nothing but great things about the Mantic 9000 too. I am not very concerned about street manners but which one will hold up the longest with 700+ rwhp on the juice.

DOUG @ ECS

Send me a PM if your interested in the Mantic and maybe I can "make you an offer you can't refuse".

Ordered the Mantic through Doug at ECS. Thanks guys.

DOUG @ ECS

Thanks Billy, good speaking with you.

croatbob

whats the max hp rating on both these clutches?

DOUG @ ECS

They are rated at right around 1000 ft lbs of tq, but we have exceeded that with good results so far.

Sorry to revive a dead post, but I'm in the same boat that you were.

I'm a few weeks out from ordering a new clutch and wanted to check and see how your choice worked out for you. Glad you went with the Mantic or do you wish you got the McLeod?

I'm getting ready to order also. I don't track my car but I'm at 643rwhp and plan to be close 700rwhp soon. I just want something that drives like stock but can handle the power. What do you guys think would be the best for me.

I make 580rw NA and close to 900 on spray. I have a mantic 9000 that I bought from DOug at ECS over a year ago. 15k hard miles and 10-15 passes on an 1/8th mile strip the clutch shows little wear and has pleanty of life left. It drives like stock as far as pedal effort, low chatter from most twin discs I've had in other cars. It grabs like a sum bitch but is easy to slip at the track as well for those soft launches.

You might want to also consider the LT1-SC. Suppose to have great driveability and is also less expensive than a Mantic (bout same as RXT). I've got one in my office waiting to be installed. Only downside to that one is it's fairly new so jury is still out a little on long-term durability in abusive situations.

Are the included slaves a factory piece

Just about every single thread I’ve seen on this site talking about clutches, people tend to talk about clutch performance at the drag strip, high rpm speed shifting, and peddle pressure.

What I would like to know, is if there is a particular clutch type, manufacture, or style; that will provide more throw to allow more control getting the car rolling from a dead stop with an aggressive cam that doesn’t like to behave under about 1200 rpm. I really don’t know how else to describe what I’m referring to, but I can’t stand how much I have to ride the clutch to just get the car rolling without either spinning the tires (from too much throttle), or stalling the damn thing (not enough throttle).

DOUG @ ECS

With the Mantic's yes.


That is better known as MOI "moment of inertia", big cammed cars are known for the need to slip the clutch to get them going.
