Default Need Clutch (Search Isnt Working)

Alright guys, my clutch is burning out and Im in desperate need of a new clutch as I am having to drive home from school. Now what is your all around favorite clutch that you have had? I have stock power but plan on modding it up so I want a clutch that will hold a top rated of around 500rwhp. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks

at 500 whp (and the associated torque, which is how clutches are rated) something like a twin disk may be worth considering

other clutches will handle it, with varying degrees of civility/longevity

what's your budget?

Buying a clutch to match 500 horsepower that you don't have is silly.

^^Yeah what he said. I was gonna say there was a recent thread in the marketplace for ACT clutch specials. If "search" function isn't working, just browse the Vendor Marketplace.

Haha well this will have to wait until after Christmas, I can't spend money on myself right now. But I'd love to go through you. I Haven't actually bought from a vendor on here, and I know you have a solid reputation just give me a little bit and I'll get back with you when I'm looking at buying a clutch kit in January early February.
Thanks a lot for the help man.
