We offer 4 different trim levels. I have provided a link below with info on the cost and capacity of each.

Z28...I am not sure who your friend is or if he has contacted us (though I assume that he would have). If you want to contact me about this or have him drop me a line I will be happy to look over his situation). My first thought relative to the fact that he has gone through two kits is that he has an issue with his set-up and that the bearing may be riding the diaphragm thusly keeping the clutch released. I have a number of customers that have great durability with the Super-Twin. In fact I am just starting to see the original Test units that we released back in 2006/2007 trickle back in for rebuilds. Let me know a bit more about your friends situation and I will be happy to assist. Thanks,

Yea he have sent it back at least once maybe twice. The season here is kind of over so he will probably will wait till sometime over the winter to get to it again. as far as the details go im not sure on the clutch or the car. its nice to see even if hte car makes 1200 hp for a ultimate dyno pull that you guys have a clutch that should hold it.
As far as the tranny goes i have some time to see if anyone comes out with anything new or maybe see wha tluck people have with teh new t6060. I know its a manual so nothing is set in stone. If anyone has any M6 options that have worked in high hp applications for a decent period of time im all ears but thats a diff thread lol.

Well I have ran the pump spraying the head set gear for 2 years and the head set gear still looks perfect. 
Before the pump I would eventually break the head set gear and the counter shaft gear wouldn't look good because of lack of lubrication on hard high speed runs.

Here is my answer to a T56 holding up to 1000 rwhp.

My T6060 has an integrated pump and is dumping in a similar place. I guess Tremec agrees with this method.

The Stage 5 is a good option too, but remember it isn't as long-wearing or street friendly as a Stage 3+ or the Super-Twin offerings. This is mostly due to the noise associated with the Sintered Iron disc material and the "bite" that comes from it's high friction-coeffecient. But, for a lower cost high capacity offering the Stage 5 is great!

I would run a clutch from Advanced Clutches. rob youngblood is the only person I trust for building a clutch to hold that power. fully adjustable clutch too, but not cheap... you're looking at 2900 for the dual disk setup with a billet alum flywheel, but it will hold everything you could possibly throw at it.

like others have said, look at the spec stage 5 single. thats if it is a street vehicle. if you are not concerned by street manners i would go with a multi disc set-up. less mass, more clamping load and area.

for 1000 rwhp I will run nothing but a twin disk setup...there is no way a single disk like a Spec 3+, 4, or 5 will hold up like a Spec twin will and the Spec twins are very streetable. I mean 3 seasons (and still going strong) on a Spec twin with 1000 rwhp and in a 4000 lb car...just find me one single disk that will last like this.

A 7 1/4" clutch will not be as smooth as a single-disc or a Super-Twin. There lower weight and subsequent inertia will affect the ease with which the car can be moved from a stopped position. The smaller assembly will also be more apt to chatter too. I have driven each of these set-ups and am commenting from experience. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

looks to me that spec may be the way to go yet again. i plan to run a pump setup on my t-56 also. Would there be any advantage to say taking all the hard steel parts like the gears and viper input and output shafts and getting them chryotreated or somthing similiar to making the metal stronger?
