Default Big power /torque guys..over 800rwhp or tq what are you running?

Goals for next season are 850rwhp on turbos alone and possibly 1000rwhp on small shot of spray.
So lets here it from you m6 guys what clutch are you running at these or higher power levels and how its working out in termes of streetability,dragstrip,pedal pressure etc.

I currently have the tex twin with the standard discs in it. My current power is only 420 engine or so since turbos are not installed yet. I might consider upgrading to the tex triple setup possibly with street discs or might switch to another brand of clutch depends on how things work out for me. I might even go to the dark side and run a 480le but would like to try to keep the m6 in the car. The car is street car not drag car will only go to strip once or twice and to dyno once or twice. I do drive it pretty hard occasionally off the track though.

My tex with a few thousand miles is pretty streetable now.It was not that much fun during break in. Pedal pressure is fine not that heavy at all.
It makes a rattling noise when you push in clutch.This is common with most twin discs. Some have designs to minimize or possibly eliminate this rattling.
I also got hold of some street discs to use if can't deal with the standard more race type discs. But they won't hold as much power and may have to go to triple if use the street discs.

Bringing this one back. Do you guys have the new twin the rxt? Are you using the mcleod adjustable master or did you have to shim anything? Do the new twins need the adjustable master?
