Default Clutch set up

Just curious what kind of clutch set up everyone is using.
Dual disk, single disc, steel flywheel, aluminum flywheel?
525 & up horsepower

A McLeod RST twin disc will have the pedal pressure of a Honda Civic and not grabby rated at 800hp. IMO one of the best street clutches you can buy/drive. Stock slave cylinder also.... no shimming etc. Pair it with an aluminum flywheel.

If you are going to be doing abusive launches at the drag strip or on slicks/prepped tread surfaces just get the RXT for longevity.

I went with the McLeod RST as well. It was either that or Monster, but didn't get enough feedback on the Monster and lots of positive about the RST.
