I have learned a lot over the last 20 years working with Viper clutches and with the help of clutch guru Lyle Larson, I have developed some really nice clutch options with McLeod Racing. We now have dual disc clutches for all generations of Viper's 1992-2104.
These are not racing clutches, but can certainly hold up to race use and depending on how we have them built, can handle up to 2000hp. My main goal working with McLeod on this was to create a clutch with a light pedal, smooth engagement, quiet operation and a affordable price point . All our clutches come complete with the flywheel (light flywheel options available).
All of our clutches are built to order, specifically for your application. These are not "off the shelf " McLeod units, but specially built for SPT with two different types of friction materials depending on your torque load. The disc hubs are sprung with excellent release qualities, floaters are double strapped for high torque load on acceleration, deceleration and quiet operation. ARP hardware is used.
We have tested the heck out of these at the drag strip, road course and drift courses. They can take a tremendous amount of abuse with perfect repeatability.

Our Gen 4-5 Dual disc diaphragm clutch is a pretty slick unit, its modular, so the flywheel is built in. It just bolts to your flywheel, so no need for a new flywheel. It weighs the same as the stock clutch so there are no issues with check engine lights. We wanted a better offering than the production Sach's dual disc, which will not hold up under hard use and has had issues with floater straps breaking. Our standard clutch is rated at 750ftpds torque and is a great stock replacement. Our extreme version is rated for 950ftpds torque and is great for those forced induction and drag race applications.

Here is a picture of one of the modular units mounted to the flywheel.
1864
Our Gen 1-3 dual disc diaphram options come with a complete flywheel and ring gear (light flywheel option available). Standard and Extreme options are also available.
1865
For the SRT Ram folks, we offer the same choices with an additional hydraulic upgrade kit.
1866
For those who have over 1000hp, we still offer the tried and true Borg and Beck dual disc clutch. It has a heavy pedal, but it's the only clutch we have ever been able to put behind a 2000hp drag Viper without a hiccup.
If you want a clutch with a light pedal, smooth engagement, no rattle and can take whatever you want to put to it, then we have an offering for you.

Gen 4-5 Standard (modular flywheel) $1190.00
