Default Lets answer this once and for all: Which clutch for 600rwhp?

This question has been asked numerous times without any real solid answer. Which clutch will withstand 600rwhp? Possibly 600+tq? I am not talking about 6k launches on slicks. I am talking about mostly rolls and an occasionaly launch(2-3k). Just throw out the different options. I hear the Tex clutch is a good one but which model? I also hear about the spec 5 but I hear they have a lot of problems with them?

So which is better? The ekoskel or the 0z700?

It depends on what you want from a clutch. Have a look at this thread.

The exoskel is the multi disk. The 700 is the single disk. The single disk is only rated to 700rwtq, but is cheaper than the multidisk. I can only vouch for the 700 personally up to 550rwtq in a 4000lb gto dead hooking a 4krpm clutch dump on mt et dr's.

hahaha, there's no such thing as the 'once and for all' answer, especially with as many products as we've got

I'm happy with Spec products, if that helps

Sorry to hijack the thread, but Byunspeed, why do I keep getting e-mails about new clutch offers? I still can't burn out the one I already have.

The tex clutches are the best.
