Sorry @whatsa347 ... I ended up frying 3 pistons soon after the original post and built the motor. Didn't want to risk it with the ER2 (was aiming for 650rwhp on the build - ended up putting down 782.5rwhp / 680.77rwtq) Mantic looked after me on a 9000 twin plate - and I gave the near-new ER2 to my tuner who fitted it as part of the deal.

The 9000 series has been in the car with this motor for around 18000 miles ... and it is brilliant. I've not dragged, however I have given it some monster launches and put it through its paces on road rallys against a GT3, 997 Turbo, AMG SL, Carerra GT ... brakes faded ... oil overheated ... clutch performed flawlessly

Mantic has this clutch rated at 480 ft/lbs, but I see people such as yourself buying it for applications that are well-over that rating. I have an email to ECS since they are a distributor. I want to make sure this clutch can handle decent power before I make it a contender as my Monster 3 replacement. I'm currently at 490/470, but that is with stock LS3 heads, and that could change in the near future.
