i run a $1200+ twin disk and i'll tell you what just about everyone else will, Monster clutch, pretty much your best bet for a great clutch in every aspect. Lashway Motorsports carries them down here.

Monster stage 3 here. Great clutch, especially if you're gonna race the car. I've got numerous passes on mine and it's doing just fine. I didn't break it in either. Well, for maybe 10 miles or so. I will recommend that your drive line is up to snuff. It will find any weak links if you're coming from a less aggressive clutch.

If you want a clutch that will handle your power, come with a 12 month warranty, not have any issues with, has been proven numerous times, and in general is a bad *** setup then go with a Monster.

The guys at Lashaway will get you taken care of, don't go cheap on something this important.

I highly reccommend this one: http://www.diamondclutch.com/index.p...id=1&Itemid=54

Stage 3. had it with H/C/I pushing 436 RWHP/390 RWTQ, and kept it with a 408 dishing out 550 RWHP/499 RWTQ. Had it for over 3 years and 25,000 miles. Too many track passes to count. And it is a DD.

I second the Monster, you just can't go wrong with something that is this proven.

X2^^. I have the stage 3 setup and it is flawless. They are alot cheaper and damn reliable. I have since had alot of friends switch over to the diamond setup because alot of other brands heat crack very easily and the diamonds can handle anything you throw at it all day. Me and alot of my friends clutch dumps at 5500-6000rpms on a 12 bolt and dead hooks all the time. Hit up Jason at TDP/Texas Drive Train Performance. He is a sponsor here and if you do a search you will see has nothing negative about him and is the best in the dfw! I have been to his shop and has great turnaround times. Here is his number 817-300-6840. You won't be dissapointed.
