Default Which Clutch?

i know a few things...but clutches not so much. I will be getting a forged 6.0 lq9 soon and i figure while everything is out i better upgrade the clutch too. the project is a 2002 Ws6 trans Am about 55,000 miles. When i procharged it years ago a stock rod let go after a few 1000 miles....so 4 years later its time to get it going again. I intend to keep the stock T56 and i think it has the ls6 clutch. I will be doing mostly street driving and plan pushing hopefully 700-750hp to the wheels. I have heard good things about the Mcleod RXT twin disk but what do you guys think?? do i need to do anything special to suit a twin disk clutch? thanks!

rxt should work well, friend has a gt500 and loves his. It seems to hold 500 RWTQ at 2500 RPM's and still drive smooth.

If you're looking at 750 horsepower to the wheels and you're thinking about the occasional quarter-mile run, our DYAD twin-disc system (part #04614842) will handle the torque easily (The DYAD is rated up to 1,300 ft.-lb.). The nature of its design means huge holding capacity but a also very streetable pedal feel.
