    Sounds sick. Multi-spoke wheels can sometimes get "lost" in dark finishes, but I'm sure it's going to look great.

    I'm also curious which model he'll be using - full face for gentler engagement and street manners or segmented/pucked?

    did you try the RST with Marseille in it???

    I am leaning towards the newer McLeod RST kit with the Marseille. also will be going with the hydraulic bearing by Mcleod.

    i have felt pretty much every clutch combo On the T56 trans in the S281 Saleen Extremes, i have felt McLeod single disc, ACT, Fidanza and Spec and kix-n-match. Single disc are good for 500HP to the wheels about. Anything more than that, the single disc just wont hold. Then we move onto twin discs. The old McLeod style SUCKED, was like an on/off switch and chattered. The new RST with Marseille material is spongy material and takes the force, allowing for smooth transition. Also holds up to 800HP.

    I called Spec and they were not willing to work with me or answer my questions, that was a MAJOR turn off. I called Billy at Mcleod and we talked for like 30min.

    Very cool build. Love the wheels too.

    SPEC is referred by people who either love or hate them. Personally, I would never purchase another. Glad to see that your going another route.
