Based on that, an RPS BC2 or all carbon Street Twin would be a great choice.

This clutch can withstand severe launches and provide very low 60's. (mid to high 1.3s). The clutch can be easily slipped on the street for smooth engagement.

I have a Centerforce twin disk with a Tick master cylinder. It will take 1,200 HP

Two people have driven it and two people have bought one.
