I can tell you the Mantic so no where close to the feel of the stock clutch. The Mantic requires more effort. The twin disc is good up to 1000 ft lbs of tq. The triple disc is good for up to 1500 ft lbs of tq.

I always felt the stock clutch was a bit on the soft side. The engagement point felt vague. It was also starting to slip at high rpm. I'm not stock though.I'm very happy with the Mantic clutch.

Have not had any experience with the other clutch's you mention.

I loved my Mantic clutches, as stated it won't be factory but it's to be expected with a clutch holding 1k. I'd also look at the Street Slayer from Hendrix.

I'm at 755rwhp and had to replace my factory clutch... I used an RPS twin disc. It's a VERY firm pedal, but it doesn't slip. Killer clutch in my opinion. It's rated for waaaaay more hp than I have, or even plan to grow into.

Default Rps clutch

Just wondering how that RPS clutch is holding up and what is your current power level and how many miles do you have on the clutch...🏁🏁🏁🏁

"feels factory" and "holds more torque" is a have your cake and eat it too situation.

I had a McLeod RXT twin disk and I really did not care for it. It was on a modified C6 base @ about 500 engine HP, so it may have been too much clutch for the HP.

I currently have a 1k engine HP 17 Z06 with a Monster triple disk and I love it! Close to stock pedal feel, easy engagement and no chatter. Several of my friends have driven it (comparing it to their C7's) and they really like it as well.

Default Monster triple disc

So with the monster triple disc in your C7 are you using the stock flywheel or a lighter steel one??

Stock flywheel. Was told it helps maintain "driveability". Have to agree...

Okay good to know, my C7 is currently putting 825 HP and 880 torque to the wheels with the stock clutch and I absolutely love the feel of the stock clutch. The problem is my C6 puts 660 HP and 625. TQ to the tire and I need to put a good clutch in it. The RPS sc2 is not working properly...
