Default Best Replacement Clutch

I have killed my stock clutch and I am looking for a replacement that will handle 650RWHP and won't kill me to drive on a daily basis. What do you all recommend? Thanks!!

If given the chance to start over, I would go with the textrailia.

I have the LS7 which clamps pretty good even on nitrous but its heavy even with the aluminum flywheel. The disc itself is heavy and isnt optimum.

I've driven a Textralia car and didn't like it because it was incredibly stiff and I wasn't sure I would like it around town in traffic. What's your experience?

I went with textrailia double disk thats what Andy @ A & A set me up with for my application! The pedal feel's almost like stock but lots more clamping power! I haven't drove yet but I'm sure there will be some chatter till it gets broken in

Thanks! The textralia car I drove was a bear but it was 703RWHP and incredibly hard to drive in town. Let me know how your clutch does in daily driving applications if you don't mind.
