Clutch for 1000 hp turbo car?
My Mcleod twin isn't holding up to the power so what clutch will hold that power and still feel similar to the Mcleod? I don't want a really heavy clutch or a clutch that chatters its *** off if not driven a certain way. Is that too much to ask?
Car is a 408 ci S476 turbo. Made 842 rwhp and 866 rwtq on 14 psi so I need something for when I turn it up.
Thanks!

I would recommend the Monster LT1-R its rated for 1200WHP/TQ, however Its on the aggressive side. Give us a call and we can go over details.

I'm not quite ready to buy just yet, I just got done getting this thing together and running and my wife is going to kill me when I tell her we need another 2 grand to finish this build. lol
How is the drive ability on that clutch? I really like the way the Mcleod twin disk feels, I really wish it would hold the power because I really like it. I just don't want a clutch that chatters it's *** off unless you rev it to 3500 rpms.

Yes the clutch slips under power. It only does it when yoyou roll into the throttle and the turbo builds boost slowly and then hits all of a sudden. The clutch has around 2000 miles on it and the shop called McLeod to discuss the issue and told them there was nothing that could be done other than replacing the clutch.

RPS is super expensive though. I'd LOVE a carbon carbon of theirs but my monster lt1-s is doing great. Just wish it were lighter.
All of the LT1 clutches that monster sells have great pedal feel. Very light for the power they hold. Cannot speak to the aggressiveness of the higher rated disks though.

Funny thing though I went out today and the clutch held. It's right on the edge of holding and not holding.

It drives like stock and shifts very smooth . only time it doesnt drive like a stock clutch is go up the ramp into the trailer and a slow speed and high angle then you can tell its higher grip

I loved the monster lt1-r its a badass clutch, held 1100rwhp fine and went 8.54@164 and 1.25 bumper dragging 60's. I don't street drive the car a lot but it drove great the times I would. very nice pedal feel.
