Default New clutch needed

I have a t56 transmission, twin turbo huron kit with 70mm magnum turbos looking to make 700-800whp, was woundering what clutch I should go with, I have had a monster clutch and I already destroyed it just with bolt on power so either I screwed up the break in -likely but I did drive like a panzy for 500+miles- or it doesn't enjoy being launched -no idea on this- Ill give monster the benefit of the doubt because I do drive like a complete jack *** with my car, doing burn outs and **** just to **** people off -I know bad me slap on wrist and what not- anyways were woundering my options at this horsepower range under 1k, Id like to try and keep stock pedal feel but I can change it if need be. Car is mostly going to be a street car with only track days when I gotta prove a point to someone or do my time runs to compare before and after times. Was looking at McLeod, monster, and really wish I could afford the dragonslayer thing but way way outta my budget lol.

Which monster were you using? If you are likely going to be pushing that 800 number, their 11" ceramic is probably going to be the best bet through them. Don't know enough about the other brands at that high an hp rating though. Pedal will feel a bit more aggressive though.

McLeod sponsors this section of forum but there are other brands available. I am sure if you reach out to them directly your ?'s could be answered regarding their product

You're not sure which stage clutch you bought? Did you get it used?

no I just didn't have the information available at the time and I was at work when I made this post since I made the purchase over a year ago when I got the car I cant exactly just tell on a dime, its a stage 3 pucked clutch so it for lack of a better term is kinda a PIA to drive at times like..reversing that's fun...

Ragna, our DYAD would work great for that power level, and feels just like the stock clutch in terms of required pressure. If we can give you any more info, please shoot us a PM anytime you'd like!
