the spec3+ would be the minimum i would go...youre gonna make big power and big tq...look into a twin disk....RPS is the flavor of the month...i run a spec twin disk without issue its rated at 1395lbs of tq...not bad at all on the street...went 10s with my na 346 z06 the other day slipping it from a 4000 launch....it has a very short engagement window making it tough to slip at the track but it's doable...this spec twin WILL hold there are lots out there with broken parts to prove this
stay away from textralia
if you go monster...do minimum level 5 at your power output...monsters soon coming out with a twin you may want to look into

ok reread your post...youre looking for streetability? is this a street car? going to the track? if its a street car you have no need for a 100 shot unless you just like spinning tires. On motor and on the street a LS7 clutch will meet your needs...but not at the track nor the 100 shot...all gonna come down to is give and take streetability vs holding power vs what youre gonna use the car for

ACT twin - ACT TWIN - Click Here
Stock feel - no weird *** heavy pedal
Smooth engagement - not a pain in the **** in traffic
Holds Torque- up to 1450 lb ft!
I know of no other clutch made that meets the above criteria and is this affordable. My recommendation is not based on a "smoking deal" or "buy it because I have one testimonial" I recommended ACT because we've track tested it for over a year and it does not fail - and, more importantly, they stand behind the product and that makes both the seller and the customer happy. Win-Win
ACT is a real manufacturer with 100%, in-house manufacturing facility complete with heat treating and produces what may well be the finest Corvette clutches on the planet.
