there is no such animal, at least not one that you would actually enjoy driving the car with. Spec makes a puck setup with a solid hub...nasty to drive, but they rate it at 720 ft lbs of torque (crank), which should just about fit the bill. It ain't a nice clutch to drive though. An ACT HD won't even come close to holding the type of power. Their 4 puck might, but again, not a fun clutch to drive around on, though if you're only goal is drag racing, it will work.

The most popular choice is the Carbonetics triple's at that power level - not cheap, but easy to drive in local traffic and at the track, and holds that type of power. More expensive, but it's been proven to work time and time again at that power level.

I'd say go with the Carbonetic triple or the Exedy triple.
