Default Need a clutch that will hold 1000ft lbs!!!

I am looking into the Textralia ExoSkel or RPS units. How about a the RPS Street twin carbon twin, RPS organic, or RPS Street lite twin. Might be hitting the clutch with a 250 shot. 750 RWHP and 1000+ ft lbs. What do you all think I should go with? Don't want to break the bank either. Do these clutches last decent? Car is mainly driven on the street but hits the track too. Best so car is a 10.32 @ 134, blowing through my Textralia OZ700.

Thanks for any help.

I'm running a Spec Twin PT trim, good for something like 13-1400 ft lbs., it drives pretty good for being an aggressive clutch, even for my low power levels.

Long story short, this thread is exactly what I came here looking for.

My car is on the road, currently making around 700 at the wheels with 3psi of boost. It has a brand new Monster stage 2.5 clutch in it and won't hold past 3psi. I can crank it up to 15-20psi, but the Monster won't hold it. Will the RXT work with the Monster lightweight flywheel? It breaks loose above 4krpms currently. This Monster clutch has less than 200 miles on it. I can barely get the turbo to spool because the clutch slips.

Then you most likely have a clutch engagement problem, not the clutch itself. It's either your air gap is wrong or your pedal is not correct. Either way, a halfway decent clutch will hold on 3psi.
I've installed monster twin discs in cars making upwards of 1100hp and they hold great. My sons has a triple disc, not because of power, his is only 600. But he roadraces and auto-x's the car. That triple is sweet.

But I won't rule out the clutch either. I had a multitude of problems with a RXT and had to eat that $800 for a garbage twin disc. Even after sending it back 3 times in 2 months. Their customer service sucked.
Also, as far as one companies flywheel to another when using multi disc setup are pretty much a no go. Monsters setup are strictly their own. Granted I was that one in a million customer that had a bad Monster with my sons triple. But they had it fixed and back to me in 5 days. All warranty.

You guys realized you just pulled a Lazarus on a 12 year old thread, right?
