You sure you need a twin? I've got 475RW, and a vendor here recommended the single, and I trust their judgement.

What clutch is in the car now?

Does it have issues?

Do you intend to launch the car?

What hardening have you done to the drive line to handle the increased shock of that power on launch and shifts?

Answers to those Qs set a context for clutch advice.

I have read the Exedy twin is like an on/off switch, very hard on drive-line. Not trying to sway your decision, just not sure if you are aware of it.

with vettenuts. Also, the single is rated to 700+ HP, so should be able to keep up for a while.

BTW, didn't vnuts just get the twin Textralia? How's that working out?

I have an exedy twin, and it's probably the nicest clutch i've ever driven, even for street, but I like very short travel. Harsh is for those who have not changed to match the clutch.

Are you drag racing? Are you running 900whp? spec has a twin iron last I heard.

If you haven't nukeproofed your driveline, keep the clutch as the weak link or you'll be visiting the shop often.

No, I installed the OZ700 with the X-grip.
