Default Need Clutch Reccomendation

I need a clutch that will hold over 750RWTQ. After a fun joust with the spray, my clutch is on its last leg. What have you tried and liked, or disliked, that can hold that power?


Thanks

My Textralia Eco Skel holds 650 RWTQ, they also make a triple and that one should hold for you

I have a findanza flywheel and a spec3+ clutch. I dont have near that much rear wheel torque though. It grabs really hard and it's and on and off deal in first. Either It's grabbing or its not and once it grabs you hace to go. If that makes any sense. It also Squeeks.
So if your driving in traffic it would be a beotch.

I'd do a search or post this in the FI section. Textralia will probably get the most votes. I don't have that kind of power but my OZ700 almost feels like the stocker.

I wish I knew more about that level of tq. I have an Exoskel and love it. I think the drivability is excellent. It does make a fair amount of noise if you let the pedal out at red lights. I don't and it has never bothered me. Good Luck with your decision.

I forgot to mention that my Excoskel does not have a stock feel, but it does not take a muscle man to press the clutch pedal in. I will say after 5k it is really does hold my setup nice and I have a few 1/4 passes along with several 1 mile runs to 180 mph and 3 sprited hill country runs this summer of 150+ miles on each run. Clutch has done the job just fine, though it did chatter quite a bit in the first 500 miles, but that is long gone
