McLeod or similar twin disk, or crower, titan, molinari or similar triple if you got a deep enough bell.
I know lots of guys were running mcleods twin's with no problems in the 700-800 hp range.

i bought a clutch from south bend clutch for my turbo build. it is rated for 900-1000 ft/lbs of torque and cost me $625 shipped. they said that they could build me a single disc that would hold up to about 1400 ft/lbs

He was looking at a different one I believe at the time but right now he is trying to get the motor together. I have one in my truck and love it I think the dual disc set up is way better than a single disc, its deffinatly way more forgiving

I didn't have time to type the last time I posted the link. You will find nothing but positive remarks about Travis throughout the truck pulling community! It seems like guys from all over the country have bought from him. I have talked to him on the phone several times and he knows his stuff. I would love to buy from him, but with my financial situation I have been buying my clutch one piece at a time. I didn't want to hassel Travis with that so I went with a ram system.

I called them and told them what I was building (HP, it's use etc) and they gave me the following part #'s:

-Pressure plate: #471CW $472.00 (12.375 Bolt Pattern)
-Disc: #1336 $180.00
-Studs: #492 $103.00
-Shims: #550 $23.00
-Counter Weights #570 $36.00

Ram will sell direct, but they jack the price up to avoid competing with their retailers. The above prices are from summit. I have not bought all of it yet so I can not advise on how well it fits together or performs. Good luck!

It all went together real nice and easy. I have done a few launches in my back field, but have not pulled with it yet. I hope to get my first hook in June.
It is a single disc.
