Default What clutch for street/drag strip?

What would be the best clutch for a street/drag car? The car makes 550rwhp right know and by march it will have 800+rwhp on a FI set up. So I know I have to get a twin disc. I was looking at mcleods twin, ram twin or spec twin. What are yall thoughts on each? The rearend is strange 12 bolt w/ spool with 373's. Thank u

Definately go with the twin disk. The McLeod and Spec I have heard great reviews about. Either would be a good choice IMO. Plus, I hear they drive so much better on the street than you would expect.

What kind of flywheel? Steel? Billet steel (is there a diff between steel)? alum? Does a aftermarket steel fw weight lighter then a GM fw?

Jeremy, the Mecloud is one of the best twin discs there is. You will need their master cylinder AND their throwout bearing. Its $$$$ but its a NICE clutch.
