Mcleod. Give em a call-very helpful. When I asked the guy on the phone if their street/strip clutch would survive a future 450HP, he laughed and said "yea no problem".

i just got rid of my Hayes, installed a centerforce dual friction with my new 650hp big block. smile.gif i like it a LOT better, that damn Hayes was grabby as hell, this centerforce is much smoother but doesn't let go once it's locked in....

Another happy McLeod/Weber customer here. I'm running one of their "dual performance" diaphragm clutches. Surprisingly light pedal effort, nice progressive take up with no "chatter", and no slipping even with ~600rwhp. A very street friendly clutch that will hold power.

I don't run slicks though, so I can't comment on how it would take a hard launch... but it won't slip with my foot to the floor in 4th gear.
