clutch recomendations for T56
I'm looking for clutch recomendations for a T56 in my 85 Z28. I've heard people liking the LT4 PP and some other clucth disc. But tell me what you think works.
I've seen Kevin's clutch take a lot of abuse and believe he has a McLeod clutch. So I am leaning towards McLeod, but I am not sure if he has the street twin setup with their flywheel or if he is just using their PP and clutch disc. Kevin, any suggestions?

I have the high performance "racing" clutch from McLeod, but its not their Street Twin, nor is it their standard clutch. Its their 11" version (stock is 10.5"). I'll be getting a McLeod clutch for my T56, and that is what is holding me up, I cant afford it just yet. Contact my dad regarding pricing, he sells it for a good price.

Thanks for the info Kevin. You are using the stock flywheel?
My auto took a dump again, lost 3rd and 4th. It had broke 5 times in the last year, and now it is no longer covered under warranty. Although my original tranny lasted 180,000 miles I have seen too many dead 700-R4s to want to keep investing in them, and I always wanted a stick anyways.
My T56 should be here next week. I don't have a lot of money to play with. I may end up having to use the donor clutch/PP that comes with it, if its condition isn't too bad. Then hope it will last me until I can do it right.

No, I have an aluminum flywheel, from a friend of my dad's, for my T5. But my T56 will have a stock one. The aluminum one will go to my dad.
