I personally don't have a McLeod Twin Disk, but I have driven several cars that have. I must say, it is an AWESOME clutch. It can hold up pretty much anything you throw at it, and it's SO easy to drive. It engages very smoothly during normal driving. Probably one of the best clutches on the market.

No good, lol. The ONLY bad thing about McLeod is the price tag, lol... Expect to spend over a grand for that clutch... :/

Go with the McLeod, they made the flywheels for ford on the 2003-2004 model. Thus, no need to replace the flywheel. I was originally planning on a McLeod, then plans switched me over to centerforce, but I ended up getting a deal on a spec stage 3.

i was hoping i could get away with a spec stage 3+ but i dont think that will stand up to 5-6k launches on slicks

I have a McLeod RST with a surfaced steel flywheel and love it. It was the flywheel that came with my spec 3 and hated that setup. Just surfaced the flywheel for $35 and installed twin disc. I bought it from Summit for $700. It is by far best money I have spent on car because it is so smooth and really light clutch pedal.
