You read lots of horror stories about spec, but that may very well be because they are the #1 used clutch in high powered ls1's. The Tex products have hands down the best customer service (I use one), but a few people have had problems. Centerforce doesn't make anything reliable for over 450rwtq. Ram seems to have high pedal effort for the power they hold. Exedy makes a twin that holds gobs of power, but I read diffferent stories of streetability. When my friend finishes his latest build with a twin disc Zoom, that will be the only firsthand info I have on that brand. I have read mixed reviews about Mcleod's products, but no firsthand knowledge. I haven't seen or heard anything about Hays since old school sb1 motors.
