Default Clutch recommendation 800whp

Considered selling the T56 and going auto but I think I'm just gonna throw good clutch in her and let her eat.

This is in a Mustang coupe with full suspension and I will be running a 275 Pro drag radial. I'm looking for a clutch that I can slip while leaving from a dig. I know some clutches out there pretty much have an on and off disengagement feel and that's not really what I'm looking for.


92 Coupe 2850-2900lbs
Forged aluminum 5.3
TFS 205's 11.7-11.9:1 Compression
BTR 235/242 Camshaft
1 7/8 Longtubes
Fast 102/102 and a N.O. Plate
Tick level 2 T56 MGW shifter, Tick Slave cylinder
Built 8.8 3.73 Gears

I would assume the motor will make around 480-500rwhp and 700-750 on a 250 Shot. Overall goal is 60" in the 30's and run a mid to low 9.

What clutch do you guys think will meet my needs?

Mantic Twin, corvette guys seem to like them a lot, RXT, monster twin. Nitrous hits hard, so I'd overkill with the clutch.

For that setup I would recommend the Monster LT1-SC, its rated for 1000WHP/TQ and it drives pretty close to stock.

Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.
