check out the ram powergrip series...i had a regular powergrip in and i am just switching it out for a powergrip hd. the regular powergrip is meant to hold up to 500 hp so u should be good. check out TSP thats where i got mine from and with fast shipping it was $440 total i think they are $380 or less on their website so check it out

same here with my powergrip...call TSP and talk to then about it. anyone there can answer you question. they also have them on sale i believe and they may also have the spec on sale. best bet is to just call and talk to them though, thats how i have solved most of my problems.

i had two ram clutches go out on me. the first in about 1,500mi and the secong lasted 2,200-2,500ish mi. both were broke in the way they told me,i did buy the matching flywheel and added a new slave and adj master.they do hold well but don't seem to want to last at all. by the way,ram would not help much on the product being a piece of crap and they charged me to have the second clutch after the first lasted only 1,500mi. i'm on spec now and only have 550mi on it,so at this time i have nothing to say on this clutch,i just hope it will last longer then my rams did.

When my tranny went out I considered many options for what to replace it with, including a nice T56. That meant doing research to see what clutch I would want to run with it. Money not an object, I decided that if I went M6 I'd get the street twin.
It is above your price range though.
You could get a spec 3. Seems pretty popular around here and isn't very expensive.

I like the Exedy because it works great with the 01+stock hydrolics w/out the drill mod.
