"streetable", durable, clutch that will last AND hold 700+?

Besides Mcleod? Does such a clutch exist? Basically I made this thread strictly for high-HP members that daily drive their cars. The reason: after my turbo 358 is running, I expect to make no less than 650 fwhp. 750 if/when I spray it. So, my problem is, I need a clutch that will hold the power (not going to be a track car at all. It will see 1 or 2 high RPM launches per year MAX) and yet be easy enough to drive everyday. I don't want a setup that will chatter, but I still want it to hold... I'd like to be able to slip it a little, but I still want it to hold! I'd also like it to last a while... I don't want to change my disk(s) every 6 months!

Lets talk SPEC stage 3's. What are the carbon, kevlar, and ceramic disks REALLY used for? What is each one's specialty?

If you've got anything to add, please do so. I need to hear the horror stories about bad clutches AS WELL as the good stories. I'll be ordering on thursday or so, so please give me all your input.

Thanks,
Jesse

I think the street twin is your only option. Alot of people have the spec III fail with just heads and cam cars. The street twin is rated at 1400 hp I would go that route.
