The driveability is good but I don't know how it'll hold up with 600 hp mine only had 2000 miles and didn't hold one dyno pull with 410hp. IMO look at a monster clutch. They are a puck design but once broken in they drive great and don't chatter

That was the first clutch I had in my car with the stock motor it was great, but after my H/C swap I was making 463 HP. It drove fine like stock really nice pedal. However when I took it to the track, I had a few good launches and smoked it. I have the tick mc also So I had it adjusted perfect. Its just not up to this kind of power. If you are making 600HP and try to race this clutch you will be making another clutch purchase, its only rated at like 500 HP. You always need to leave yourself a cushion of at least 50HP when it comes to clutches. CALL monster spend the money right the first time.
