427 Flywheel with Tremec TKO 600

No problem.

If you want to cancel/return the flywheel, I can save you about $125 on a flywheel....

Thanks, but I dont see the mcleod 12" 184 tooth steel flywheel on your website. Can you really get this flywheel for 235.00?
Part number 463215

No, my point was that there are other alternatives next to the McLeod piece, which is apparently made of gold. I only use them in extreme cases where a 11.5/12" pressure plate has to be used.

I used to be a McLeod fan, but I've had several returns this year on their pressure plates. Also, for the price, you can buy a nice RAM clutch kit and have a good bit of money left over. I've been selling RAM for a couple of years now with no returns, except for one, where the wrong kit was sent out mistakenly.

Well you know what they about size, "it's not the size...".

I had an 11" clutch plate, blew that right out! But that was a typical organic lineing on both sides, similiar to a stock plate. I went to organic on one side, pucks on the other and got a LOT more miles on that clutch, still 11". But even that one didn't hold up well. So, now I'm running pucks on both sides, a much more agressive clutch plate/cover combination. I think this one will work out nicely!

If it don't, and I'm hell on clutches, I'll be going dual disc for the next one.

Clutches are a balancing act. The dual disc will grab harder and not slip. But it will also hit the driveline harder because it ill not slip...

BTW there is a bit more to clutch diameter than just the O.D. dimension alone....
