So, my stock clutch finally started to slip after 50k of making 400HP and 380tq. I'm very satisfied with the stock clutch and how it survived for so long but I figure it's time to upgrade to a twin style clutch. I called MAP and talked prices and we came up with a couple options for my car. MAP told me that the QM TWIN 6-leg would be ideal for
my set up and it's on sale for $1345, so with everything I need it's $200 cheaper then the 8-leg newer style QM twin. My question for all of you is which clutch would you purchase?? I don't mind spending $200 more for a clutch as long as it last for a good period of time but I also don't mind saving a few hundred dollars.

Do the 8leg, street version. The old 6leg style is not fun to drive. The new 8leg street version is very rational to drive on a daily. I just upgraded from the 6leg, to the new 8leg and I love the 8leg version. So nice to drive. You will still have driveline noise associated with the clutch. So if you are looking for a super quite clutch go with a single plate stock style clutch. If you don't care about the noise roll with the QM Twin 8leg.

Not to high jack this thread but I will be selling my QM 8-leg 'race version' clutch soon. It has under 300 miles on it and maybe 30 track passes. PM me if interested. I'll be looking to get around $1000 for everything.

Noise won't bother me I just want something that will last and gives me room for more power.

Thank you for the heads up but I want to buy brand new. Why are you gonna sell it if you don't mind me asking??

I'm buying a Tilton carbon/carbon for drag racing. The QM was a great clutch but I feel the discs are a little heavy for my application.

I've driven quite a few twins.. honestly if you plan to be under 500 for awhile I'd get an Exedy if you got big things planned then definitely get the 8-leg street version and do a hydraulic accumulator

Do you mean 500hp or 500tq?? I won't really ever get to the 500tq but HP will be at the 500 mark next summer. I do like the exedy but I have a few friends that ran this clutch and they didn't get much life out of it. I know it really depends on how you drive and how much you beat on it but the QM seems to be able to take some abuse. I don't abuse my car by all means but it would be nice to know that the clutch is capable of handling some hard driving.
