RPS twin or triple. Lots of people like the mantics as well but no experience with them on my end. New McLeod 1200hp clutch seems promising.

McLeod RXT has been holding up well to 920rwhp. 9.47@155. Literally hundreds of passes on it.
Although, it was 920 on the dyno, the timing has been pulled back to 15* for street and track use. So probably not at 920 now.

Like above, the new McLeod looks good. If you're truly going to be at 1000rwhp, I'd not hesitate to try that out.

Not at 1000rwhp yet but had a Monster LT1-SC Twin Disc installed to get the drivetrain ready. After 300 miles it's broken in nicely without much noise and slips enough to not be horrible to drive.

Tilton Triple Carbon.

Only have done light driving so far with it so no HARDCORE data but it seems good.

RXT is what I use, and have seen over 1000rwhp in my setup for 1/2 mile events. I'll be stepping up to the 1200hp puck when this one starts to give, but so far it holds like a champ.

OP, I had good success running 9s with the McLeod RXT. Installed the RXT 1200 this time and looking forward to going to the track with it.

I'm curious to hear which automatic you recommend for a C5 with 1000rw?

Haha I was referring to my twin turbo Cobra which has a fully built 4r70w. My Z06 is still stick and will stay that way. I love stick cars, but if you actually want a high horsepower car to really work on the dragstrip, an auto is a better way to go, albeit perhaps a less fun way to get there.

People are going fast with a stick for sure, but usually with a much more radical and less street friendly setup. My Cobra was built to be able to run 8's at the track, but be tame enough to throw the keys to your grandma and let her throw it in 'D' and drive it to bingo with the a/c blasting, cruise control on, and her favorite tunes on the stereo.
