Default 800-1000RWHP Which Spec Twin

Based on my research on here the Spec twin is the best streetable clutch for the 800-1000RWHP crowd. Unfortunately when I went to Specs site, there are 5 twin discs. Just looking for a little clarity on which one would be best in a DD.

what are you using the car for? The PT trim which a lot of people run with fantastic results is good to 1395lbs of tq....this would be the best all around for a street car with that kind fo power...if youre going to track it often...I would consider maybe a higher level...these clutches are rebuildable...I run the PT trim in my Z06 it holds great and drives good on the street

Mostly street, limited track. Thanks for the advice! How harsh is the engagement and disengagement with that trim?

I'd look elsewhere for that power level than spec but that JMO.

Well, I heard the McLeods with put hell on the input spline shaft at those power levels. Guess you would recommend the Tex Exo Skel? Those were the top 3 I could figure after hours of research. I do appreciate any input. Thanks!

I'd go Spec twin PT, RPS twin or tripple, or McLeod RXT twin...the tex twin isnt enough for that power

my engagement isnt that bad...its just a short engagement window but i can slip it from a stop or slip it from 4000 at the track on the launch...good clutch...takes the heat...keeps on going...bites real hard when you ask!

The PT-Trim is a great option but we do offer 4 different versions of the Super-Twin. Let me know what kind of torque you are making and I will be happy to provide a recommendation. I have provided a link to our webpage specific to this application so you can see the torque ratings and prices for each model. These kits include a steel flywheel but we also offer an aluminum option for those interested in reduced mass for $89 more. Take a look and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!!
