The Street Twin is worth every penny.. and can be rebuilt time and time again for 325 dollar's.. i have it and it has only snapped one driveshaft, one output shaft, and twisted the spline's on 3 steel driveshaft's.. Uprgraded to a spohn extreme duty and don't have no more problems..
When you say you upgraded to a spohn extreme dute are you talking about the torque arm?

I have also snapped one driveshaft and twisted the splines in the slip yoke of a Denny's Nitrous driveshaft.

Went down to Autozone and bought myself a new clutch for $250 (some area of US sell it for $200). It will have a warranty and it uses the LT4 pressure plate which gives you more holding power.

Now, later if you start to wear the clutch again, just get a new disc. If you want, try a different one from Spec.
I just did the same thing.. the pressure plates are identical down to the serial numbers.. the whole setup 199.00 and holds just fine.. don't think you can beat that deal..

Identical to which one? The SLP?

Another vote for the ST. Grabs like a mad dog, a little hard at first on your leg, but you'll get used to the feeling. I really like it.

Identical to a mcleod pressure plate I have in my garage.. only the autozone one is not painted red.. every number matches including the manufacturer.. I posted about it on here before apparently it is some sort of patent by valeo on the pressure plate..

I have an SLP PP with a Mcleod kevlar/organic disk. it's listed as the performance disk for shifts above 7500 RPM. I'm really happy with mine. I've beat the **** out of it and it never slips, is 100% as driveable as stock and doesn't chatter. At your power level I'd reccomend either a stock disk or the Mcleod with an LT4 or SLP(LT4 with holes drilled) pressure plate.

The ST is overkill for a bolt-on car. You could get away with a new stock LT1 setup just fine, but a mcleod/SLP combo is very similar in price.

If you think you will ever use a power adder, you will need the ST. Yes, my wife can drive it, although it has a little more peddle pressure.
