Thats some damn good power 
I don't make nearly your power but I have a Ram HD or something, one of the bigger ram's and it grabs like a ****, took some getting used too for daily driving, but leaving hard its as smooth as butter. Im sold on them for my fbody as long as I own it... you might want like the VDS or whatever.

I've read hardly anything bad about a Mcleod twin disk and it seems to be hit and miss with other manufacturers. I don't know to much about the RAM VDS. I'm just curious to really see how many people who are making serious HP spent the money for a Mcleod. Dosen't seem like to many....

don't really have a budget, but if I can get away with running a SPEC 3+ then i would go for it

With the power you want to make, the only 2 choices are the spec 5 and the mcleod twin disc. I would never consider a Ram with the number of people here local that can't even make through a break in with out that clutch going out. Don't expect much from Ram on help for their bad clutch either.

Thanks. Well it looks like a Mcleod TD will be on the way. Thanks for the replies...
