600whp EVO reliability
I dd 820whp Evo (6466) on completely stock drivetrain (107Kmiles except factory refreshed tranny) Car has made close to 20 passes. Daily is like driving a Honda civic until it goes into boost, in which it feels like the eyes are going to pop out of your head 
820 whp on a stock block? I dont believe you.

Smurfzilla, while I think your experience is probably not that uncommon, I have driven one 650 whp Evo that was a perfectly good daily driver with the exception of a bit of idle instability in hot weather. I think its all about parts selection, tune, and lots of money. 
For sure a 475 whp Evo is much cheaper to build, and in some ways will be more fun.

550 on a mustang dyno is where my 93 tune will end up more then likely and this is where it will live most of the time when I do get it back. I dont want to break anything after such a long time waiting.

Exedy Triple. Very easy to daily drive. Makes a bit of noise, but not bad. Seemed to shift well at high rpm.

That is not a clutch you can launch though, FYI.

The rattle of multi-plate clutches drives me bonkers. I am looking into this unit:

J Bordonaro has been running the SPeed SPort on his Evo and only has good things to say about it:

What's the Blade rated at again? How many miles do you have on it? I was looking into that one, until it was discontinued (or unavailable) briefly.

The published rating of the Full Blade is only 380 ft-lbs, but FWIW, its holding 500+ whp and 425 ft-lbs just fine.
Does Bordonaro have any written comments anywhere on the Speed Sport?

I agree with a couple of the other posters. fast, reliable, or cheap choose two because you cant have all three. sure you can have a reliable fast evo, but it wont be cheap. Plus 600+ hp on a daily driven evo is really fast. IMO smaller turbos on higher boost are better for street and DD cars. Dont get caught up with horse power numbers 500whp with a faster spool will be more fun than a laggy 600whp big turbo.
