Default daily street car nitrous clutch

i'm wanted a different clutch for my car

2001 z06 h/c/i full bolt'ons 3.73 gear lv5 Rpm m12 + nitrous making 597rwhp 591rwtq (n/a 471rwhp 414rwtq)

right now i have a monster stg2 and a tick adj master and the clutch works pretty good but its PITA during traffic feels like an old heavy duty cable clutch not hydraulic, is it possible to have a clutch that will hold up to the nitrous and not be so hard on my leg?

the car is daily driven weather permitting, nitrous is not used much really but car is sprayed

Ive been very happy with my RPS carbon twin. Engages like stock, holds great. What is your ultimate power goal? Id build for that, but at your current level there are a lot of good choices

i'm pretty much to the point it is what it is power wise if any more it be a bigger shot adding 25hp more so i'd say 650rwhp to play it safe

mantic ftw. do it once and do it right. my mantic triple should easily hold 1k+ whp and drives like stock. twin version would have been more than enough for me but I like to go overkill

mcleod is hit or miss, some people work great and other people they are a mess and never work right. mine was never great, didn't hold the power, and chattered more than mantic.

cheaper to pay up for mantic clutch and get something you know you wont have a 50/50 shot of pulling pull the transmission multiple times to get it right and then eventually just getting a mantic anyway. especially if you're paying for labor.

which Mcleod you had? I heard that with the RXT.
I have the RST, it's perfect on the street with the full face organic disks.
I'm switching the to RXT, since I intend to cross the RST limit, i'm lil concerned by the interwebs chit chat about the RXT, i guess I'll find out.

No way...I run 611rwhp with it all day long. Not a single issue.

Of course, if you spend more you can get more, but I am unsure what will match this clutch for the price, your budget, and desired results.
