There are single disc clutches that will support that easily, but the material of the disc opens up opportunities for chatter.

I've used the RAM Powergrip HD in Cobras with absolutely no ill street manners and they are rated for 650 hp.

The McLeod twin disc is also a nice alternative but they can be a tight fit inside of a Toploader depth bellhousing. They are very streetable and easy to drive. You'll spend about $300 more for one.

I use McLeod and RAM on all of my engines. There are other brands but they stink.
