I have searched all over the internet including these forums for this information so sorry if this has been posted somewhere that I have not seen. If another thread answers all of this please direct me to it.
Have 2012 5.0 with a T-56 magnum swapped about to have v3 installed pushing just over 600rwhp and going to have clutch installed and broken in before I have it put on. This vehicle is a daily driven and so I drive constantly in stop and go traffic. Most times I take the rpm's only to around 1-1.5k, maybe 2k sometimes, when starting out from stop. Like most people with DD cars they may slip the clutch quite a bit on start. I do not want a on/off clutch at all.
I was looking into getting the sprung hub version of the RST or RXT with a stock weight gt500 flywheel or possibly the heavy flywheel to make the 1st gear starts easier on the stop and go driving. I will get a McLeod flywheel.
From what I have read about these clutches they can have chatter when first breaking in but the sprung hub is supposed to reduce that and from what I have read having a heavier flywheel also helps with it because it holds more inertia and shocks the drivetrain less which means less shutter and chatter.
I do not ever plan on taking my car to a track. I do wot at least 3-5 times a week whenever passing someone, entering the freeway or just racing someone I encounter on the road, other than that I don't take the rpm above 3k much.
I guess my question is knowing how I drive and what I want I was thinking about getting the RST for its organic material so it is better for low rpm slipping on start and the heavier flywheel is supposed to help with that will the RST be just fine or should I use the RXT just for peace of mind just in case if the RST starts slipping when I do wot to redline.
So are the clutches good for slipping (not on/off) in stop in go traffic when starting using low rpm (1-1.5k)?
Is there much difference in the RXT from the RST in regards to this question.
Currently running a Stage 2+, almost thought about using the DYAD.
Thanks for any experience information, and/or positive feedback.
