RPS BC3 is your best option. It's is expensive but its the best clutch you'll get that will handle the power time and time again. Have a couple friends with 1000+ hp supra's that have them and another that is building his 5th gen Camaro to around 1100hp that has one. They all love them and most big boys on the vette forum have them. Once it's time for my major build it will be apart of it for sure.

McLeod. They're rebuildable and aren't priced to the extreme like RPS.

RPS is rebuildable also. Nothing against the RXT though. It would be 1b to RPS' 1a.

I have a used McLeod twin for sale, $325. Totally rebuildable by them for about the same price. Original cost is $1385.

Easy way to get a good clutch at half price.
