Default Looking for clutch suggestions

I took out my 2nd gear and my clutch at the track last week.
I'm sending my tranny to RPM for a rebuild/ fix.
It's a RPM stage IV now. I've been running a Ram VDS for
A few years. I was running low 10's last year with low 1.4 60's.
Looking to get in the 9's with some 1.3x's now.
I'm looking at the Mantic twin disc, anyone use this clutch for
Drag racing? I'm also open to suggestions.

Since there hasn't been much feedback on your request I thought I would chime in and help with some recommendations. What is your planned torque output? Will the car see street use too?

600+ right now. But I also want a clutch that will be able to hold
More power down the road. I'm running a stock short block now,
But once I reach my goal of 9's with that I will be going with more
Cubes and more spray. The car does see the street. But I'm really
Looking for something to perform at the track.
I leave on N2O off the 2 step slipping the clutch.

Our 11" Ceramic single went 9.4 on a 1.3 in "blue99fbody" sprayed stroker motor and would be the clutch I'd recommend for your set up and is rated at 850rwhp...

I would recommend our Stage 3+ based on your plans for big power in the future and the description of the way that you leave. It will provide progressive engagement and plenty of capacity. Are you using a line-lock to do your burn-out?

Good deal! You would be amazed how many folks miss this important part of setup.
