New Clutch for M56 behind a 383

I am looking for clutch options. I'm building a 500hp 383. What's out there that's reliable and can handle the power?

Not a Centerforce DF. It worked great at first, but I only got 4k miles out of it with 20 passes. So I had the same question, and I'm leaning strongly towards the Street Twin. Overkill, but anything else sounds like it would be comparatively short-lived. I figure if I pay 2x as much as other options, but that clutch lasts 2x or more times as long and can be rebuild for a couple hundred, I will be way ahead.

Search and there are lots of posts like this.

I have a Spec 3, 6 puck disc with alum flywheel. I like it, but, I think the street twin will live longed than the Spec. The Spec has low inertia. App... (97ss 383 - D1 - M6)

Would that be the McLeod Street Twin, 64022-1A-07 (steel flywheel).?
