So let me ask a few more questions..

1) What are you guys using for a clutch set up? how hard is the pedal? on/off engagement or slippable.

2) is your bottom end all forged? or are some of you using heavy duty cast cranks? I've heard the heavy steel cranks can take like 900hp, and im shooting for a good bit under that. what kind of compression ratio for pump gas? my 366 is like 8.3:1

forgive my ignorance, but i am not sure what type of car you are building...ford, chevy, pontiac, etc........
personally on clutch's, with the horsepower you are looking at, i would look at a spec clutch......currently i am running a spec 3 and it is supposed to be good up to 600hp at the flywheel.....if you are above that, look at a stage 4 or 5......out of all the clutch's i have messed with, the pedal play on this clutch is excellent....it is smooth and doesn't kill your leg driving it on the street....i have a friend that own's a company called mentaladdictionmotorsport's and he sell's spec's for an awesome price.....

With the twinturbo's.....i wouldn't go anything under 8.0 to 1.......if you can grab that 8.3 to 1......you will be fine on 93 octane fuel......just don't slam alot of boost into it....keep that around 10 or under, till you get race fuel in it, then you can up the boost for some serious play...

well, shouldnt matter too much for those questions, although i appreciate the answer, but its a mopar.

People have suggested the centerforce, and passon says all he uses is mcleod set ups. I dont believe spec makes clutches for older 4 speed set ups do they? Im more curious about how it actually feels to drive on them, then what to use.

Also ive been poking around some of the procharger stuff, i might go that route instead of turbo...

Yeah, I went with a pretty strong bottom end to support the power, as well as a MoTown block. I think my compression came out to 8.1:1 after leaving some deck on the block. The JE catalog says 8.33:1.

I'm currently running the Centerforce Dual Friction and it's holding on well right now, although I don't have a ton of miles on it. I have a manual clutch and like how it feels. It allows me to shift real quick with no lag. If only the TKO would let me slam gears like the Muncies would. I kinda have to ask it "please" instead of demanding a 2-3 shift. But full-throttle shifts are CRAZY with this set up.

The ProCharger idea is good and slightly less expensive. You'll love that one, too.

Driving the twinturbo'd car is a rush............you can drive it to the grocery store and to the movie's.....but when you want, you can floor it and the car goes crazy.......it has to be the most wild feeling in the world.......i have been in supercharged car's, nitrous car's and some bad big block car's, but i have yet to find anything funner then the turbo's........No matter how many more car's i build, if i put a power adder on any of them, it will be turbo's.....

Amen.
