RPS, Tex, Monster, SPEC (not my personal favorite) Exedy. There are a few proven brands. Just search around and you'll find some info on high hp clutches.

I would recommend one of our Monster Clutch 11" race units.

Give us a call at the shop and we can go over your options and any questions you might have.

Stage 3+ would be a great option. It is rated to over 900lb.-ft at the crank and will easily handle street/track use. Of course we also offer 4 different Super-Twin options too that would be worth considering as well. What kind of use does the car see? What is your torque output? Let me know a bit more about your set-up and I will be happy to assist you further. Thanks!

Not knocking on moster but if money not a issue get the RPS twin

800 hp is alot of power for a clutch i seen alot of high hp cars on RPS and the clutch seems to last a long time.

I havealso seen alot of moster in the lower power cars 500-600 and such. they seem like a good clutch with a great company behind them but for high hp and long life id say go with the RPS

We've got a 4000 lbs GTO that makes 800rwhp on pump gas with our 11" Ceramic unit and it's holding without any issues. This same car is being launched repeatedly at 5000+ rpm's on a 28" slick.

Get an 11" Monster! Great parts, great service, great warranty!
