So decided I'm going all out on this 7m. Engine build. Going with probe pisitions pauter rods, ics balancer, sip cams ( have not decided what size yet but pretty sure I'm going big) but any way I need to to know what Clutch would be strong enough for 700 hp. Knock me all you want about the 700 hp but I'm going to do it just to scare my ass lol. AND I WILL!!! Make it to 700hp.

You could use the RPS clutch. Call Up OS-Giken and see if they will do a custom order. Spec also has a multiplate clutch kit. You don't need the best clutch, you need one to hold the power you will be making.

I was running a spec stage 3+ and it was a great clutch! Good engagement, held a bunch of power. Only caveat I found was it didn't hold no-lift shifts for me (~480hp, 440tq) So, I'm going for a spec twin plate P-trim, now!

Toyotanos.. what size injectors you using? 880cc?1000cc?

Great streetability also because their Full face and not pucks... Spec Is know for the Highest tq holding full face clutchs.. Just saying :) Great street clutch.. If you plan on a more road course drag setup.. then go with a nice puck or twin disk Pref

If you are going all out, why are you using probe pistons? That's just my opinion.

Best street clutch to hande that power would be tilton. which is about $5,000.

OS Giken clutch is the next best clutch for half the price. It will still handle the power but the pedal will feel a lot stiffer compared to the tilton.

FIC 1350's. Not even close to using all of them, but I planned to have a pretty good safety margin, as well as the possiility for future expansion.

Dang.. lol thats huge.. I wanted to run e85.. and hit 650whp.. so I was planning on 1000cc.. lol max. I will be using a map ecu1/rc550's then hopefully upgrade to a proefi/1000ccs

lol Spec is the best quality For Price.. :)
Also another theory.. on lower end clutches.. you pay for about what hp/tq the clutch should hold ;-)
