Which version of the McCleod do you run? Street twin, RST, RXT? My Spec will chatter if you try to slip it too much, as you mentioned and has a tendency to be on/off, but it holds and takes the abuse.

The twin discs are nice, they can hold 1200+ hp and still remain very driveable.
The added cost is usually the only drawback to the set up..
The power level is nothing crazy, hoping for 475ish to the wheels. I do intend on taking it to the track and letting it fly on a sticky tire, and will leave off a 2-step. I'm just thinking that a twin disc setup might have a longer useful life and offer slightly better manners at the same time? It's the age old I want my cake and eat it too. What does a twin disc set up weight versus a traditional single disc setup, is there a huge jump in rotating mass?
