So what is the difference between an organic and a metallic disc? Which one would hold more power is what im tryin to say? I dont really care about changin the master cylinder cause that probably needs to be changed soon anyway... Seems like every dam part on my car is needing to be replaced nowadays...

I honestly don't think that any clutch setup behind some decent power should use the stock master cylinder. I have the OZ700 and it has been flawless for ~10k. I did however have to upgrade to the Mcleod master after the heads/cam. The stocker just wasn't up to the task. So I wouldn't plan on saving money by using the stock mc with the TEX, just get the new mc no matter what you go with, but TEXtralia has my vote.

We ran a Mcleod dual disc. It did use organic discs. The issue I've seen is that with all the mass in the flywheel and Pressure plate you cannot powershift a car with a McLeod Clutch. The McLeod setup we had was around 65 pounds if memory serves me correctly.

I've sent several emails to Tex and I'm still waiting on there response. I will be approaching 750rwhp next year and wanted some info on there dual and single-mainly which is up to the task of a daily driver and then launched on ET streets at the track. I mainly wanted to know if the new dual will work with the stock hydraulics-ie not adjustable master and if the dual is available with a aluminum flywheel.

The dual uses stock hydraulics.
The dual is not avaliable at this point with an aluminum wheel. With its lower MOI, its really not necessary in our opinion at this point. Nathan Higgins is turning his motor over 8700 and shifting a stock type T56 with our dual disc clutch in his car.

The Textrilla Exoskel held perfectly on my car's 9.98 pass this weekend. I'm pushing over 800 RWTQ on my nitrous motivated C5R blocked 427. What's impressive is I'm running 373's with 28's...now that's a load especially with a big fat vert.
