Default which clutch?

Went to the track last night and the clutch went. I'm wondering which would be the best clutch for me. I have a 12bolt so I want to be able to launch it hard. I also plan on putting a big cam in it soon. Any ideas?

i would go with a mcleod twin. its expensive but it will do the job. i went with a spec 3 and it went on me after 3000 miles. good thing with mcleod, if your clutch goes again, a rebuild is only $250-$300 and you have a basically new clutch. you should do it right the first time. do a search on spec, youll see 50% of the time they go bad. i wouldnt recommend it

it comes with a new one. i had only bolt ons also, including a cam. pushing 390 rwhp. and its supposed to be rated 680. i say you take that $650+ and put it toward a mcleod. for the 1100 your gonna spen on a mcleod your gonna get a adjustable master also
