Default Best clutch to get for my SC 06 GT

Hey everyone, I am new to posting and not sure if this has been asked but I am looking at getting a new clutch for m 2006 mustang GT. It is supercharged with the Saleen Twin screw SC. I have the C&L intake, GT500 dual fuel pumps, among other things. I am getting around 10 pounds of boost with the SC, and learned the hard way that the person who did these upgrades didn't upgrade the clutch/flywheel. I wanted anyone's opinion on which one should I get? I am looking at doing the clutch, flywheel, and a new slave cylinder. I want to get a good enough clutch so I can add more upgrades and that it can still handle the power. My stang is around 424 HP to the wheels right now. Looking for something that will be good for driving around town in and not just a race strip clutch. Thanks for the help!

Option 1: McLeod Street Extreme clutch kit
Option 2: Exedy Mach 600 stage 4
Option 3: Exedy Mach 500 stage 3
Option Suggestions?!

I'd say go mcleod. They've changed up their model names, but I went with the RXT. Mcleod has a light pedal feel, about the same as stock, but it holds everything I've thrown at it... meaning over 900RWHP.
I'm not sure where you want to end up at power-wise, but if over 500RWHP, then you might want to also look at your transmission and at least changing over from a 10-spline to a 25-spline input shaft, which would need a 25-spline clutch... Just think about where you will realistically end up and plan ahead so you don't end up paying for the same thing twice.

I have the same clutch together with a McLeod billet steel flywheel, and I only have 1/3 of 900rwhp!

Awesome! Appreciate the info! Don't know much about the spline input shaft but will look into that as well!

Yep agree, Go with a Mcleod RXT Twin Disc, then consider a Tremec T56 Magnum XL tranny and it's with a 26 spline.

Ok thanks! Probably will be a long time for the tranny, need a while to save up for that lol.
