I have a McLeod dual friction in it right now, and I did a healthy clutch burnout last fall while trying to do a burnout in the water box ( ). I want something thats capable of holding 400+hp without killing the trans or my leg. I was pretty happy with the Mcleod, and I'll go with that again unless something else significantly comes along for the same amount of money.

Cmon :SNSign: help me out

And I did search, just looking for more input.

I just put in a Zoom clutch, when I called their tech support they told me this clutch was capable of handling 600ftlbs of torque, which is way more than I need, it also had a very short break in period which I liked.
From Summit the whole kit was $250.

well since, i have no power, this won't reallyt effect you but i just installed a king cobra last week and i really like it a lot...the pedal is MUCH softer than stock, and it grabs nicely...

I kinda like the stiffer pedal than stock tho. You guys with the KC, do you do ALOT of 1/4 racing, because I do, and I'll be cutting 1.6 60's with MT drag radials.

i dont like the kc because mine was toast after 19k.....but my flywheel was warped(even though it was machined). but even when it was new it just didnt grab all that well

one of the local guys i talk to all the time whos also a member on here, just cant remeber his user name...blk91gt or somethin....anyway, he told me it was one of the best clutches he used cause he uses the car as a daily driver, but also races it on slicks with 4000rpm launches and it lasted a long time, and was a great value clutch...you should be fine on mt's...
