I keep hearing great things about the Mantic Clutches Doug and the crew are selling at East Coast Supercharging. Not to exspensive, and I have not heard one bad thing about them.

Just saw that you got one, Good luck!

I like my ACT Twin Disk holds 850 tq I have some friends with the katech modified ZR1 clutch holds 900 tq I think and they like it. I recommend doing a clutch strong enough to hold after the D1 goes in so you wont be replacing the clutch again soon.

We installed the RPS Billet Street Twin in the car we sent to the Texas Mile a couple of years ago - in race trim it was about 880 rwhp.

This was the best street/strip clutch we found.
