I am using the Mcleod single disc clutch in the race car and it works fine. I am not running at the horsepower that you are shooting for, but then again having 600 HP and actually using 600 HP are two different things. You have to consider at what rpm are you going to be surpassing the HP rating of the single disc clutch and will you ever hit that mark on a regular basis.

If you are surpassing the HP rating of the clutch at 6,000 rpms and you do not plan on tracking the car, then unless you plan on keeping the car in 1st and 2nd gear most of the time, you will rarely ever hit that high of an rpm in normal street driving. Most people do not use what they have under the hood to it's fullest extent and are probably shifting somewhere between 4-5,000 rpms.

Food for thought.
