Clutch suggestions ??
I'm in the market for a clutch, quick facts that might influence your opinion.
C5Z, 364ci (6.0), 500ish-rwhp/440ish-rwtq (H/C/I, all the typical bolt-ons), 102 nitrous plate, 6 speed (M12), 4.10 gear, slicks..etc. I will be spraying 200+progressively.
I've narrowed it down to three manufacturers;
Mantic ~ 9000 Track series
RPS ~ BC2
McLeod ~ RXT
Things that are of concern;
The weight (flywheel and total weight), hub design (sprung vs unsprung), rebuildable, initial cost, pedal feel, customer/manufacturer service, durability/longevity, modulation, street use, ease of installation...etc.
Any opinions or feedback is welcome.
Aaron.

Hi Aaron,
As I'm sure you know, we have been using the Mantic line of clutches exclusively for some time now with great results. The pedal feel is literally like stock, the slip characteristics and the WOT shifting is just amazing.
From a sprung hub to non sprung hub really isn't noticeable IMO, I have been driving a 7000 series lightweight clutch for the last week or two that we installed in a NASA ST1 car and although it's called a "race clutch", it's far from the race clutches I have driven in the past.
For your usage with the nitrous I would recommend the 7000 over the 9000 just for the abuse factor, but either would work great. The difference between the two is the sprung hub to fixed hub, and the 7000 is a lighter.
If you have any other questions feel free to call the shop @ 609-752-0321 or PM me .
