Will stock clutch hold 410RWHP?
I am getting a heads and cam package soon. I will be around 400 -410 RWHP. Do you think that my stock clutch will hold this. He has held up pretty good so far. It is a fairly new stock replacement. If it wont hold, what is the best aftermarket clutch to get. Ive heard bad thing about almost every one of them and that worries me. THanks.

I've also heard some good things about some of the spec clutches, but have no experience with them.
I have a Mcleod single disk right now and it does great on the street and track. I can only imagine what the Street Twin can do.
I'm not sure but I think the Street Twin runs $1000+.
I only paid around $400 for the Single clutch.

The first time to the track after my ported heads and cam my clutch slipped like crazy thru 1st,2nd and 3rd gear.smelt really bad.It was an LT4 pressure plt and stock disc.Got a Mcloed street twin haven't put the car back on the road yet but I have driven a 9sec car with a street twin and it is just awsome.You can get one for around $900.

When spraying Im knocking around that rwhp's door. My SLP clutch and PP has held up good so far. Of course I havent had any good tire or sticky tire launches with it. Its kinda new also. Its been in about 8 months or so. I'd say on the street the stock clutch will hold up pretty well. As far as track launches etc, i would upgrade.

Ok so for the most part, Mcleod is a pretty good clutch? What about the Mcleod Dual Friction. Is this a good one? The one im lookin at is 390.00 but no Pressure plate. Should i get one with a PP?
