The Spec 3+ is rated to hold that and many users report a good pedal feel.

I'm more interested in the ones discussed here:

I am about to get the Ram VDS Twin Disc. It will run you around $1299.99 I believe. Comes with an aluminum flywheel TO bearing and 300 series disc. Supports 900rwhp easily. I am not a fan of Mcleod anymore after having a crappy master cylinder from them that was supposed to be top notch...Why do you think that B&M bought them out? Anyway the Ram P/N 902100 will more than exceed what you want. SDPC carries them along with a few other sponsors.

And yes, I know that most people do not want an aluminum flywheel, but the reason it has one is to make up for that extra added insurance/weight from a second disk and plate. It really is a hot piece! Very streetable unlike the spec line is, but then again I have/had a SPEC 3 clutch for a long time and really did like it. Not saying there is anything wrong with the SPEC line, because I think that it was a bad batch a few years back. My springs broke in my disc and that is why I am going with the Ram now just for a different view down the spectrum in the clutch world.

Based upon the quality and performance of my Ram HD, if I had big horsepower, I too would by the new Ram dual disk.
