What would you guys recommend? I'm looking at the Ram Clutches Force 10.5, McLeod RXT and or the Centerforce DYAD dual disc that is rated at 1300 ft/lbs torque. This car is mostly driven on the street with street tires. Please let me know what you think. 1970 Plymouth Cuda, 512cid on 230 400 block, 5 speed manual.(TKO 600) 1970 Dodge Charger 500, 446cid, 5speed manual.(TKO 600) 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, 383cid, 5speed manual (Tremec TKX)

I built a 499 cube stroker that made 500hp/550tq. They said for that weight they only recommended the dual disc and not the dual friction. I ended up buying the Mcleod RST twin disc. It wasn't cheap! I had to drive the car normally for 500 miles. Once or twice I felt it slip aafter breakin. After 3000 miles I pulled it apart because I am redoing my motor. I do see a few hot spots. Mcleod thinks it's normal wear. I am not sure. The pedal feels amazing, very light and no chatter. If I do it again I would probably try the dual friction.
