They (CM) owe me a clutch as they assured me this was well upto the job! 2 weeks later its a different story.
I think a twin plate is the only way to go now to rule out any issues when being used for drag runs on drag slicks.

im just sat here and thought i remember you saying on the slicks your 60ft was 1.8 sec before the clutch gave out, if the rest of the run had carried on as your other run did you would of been well in the 11s mate.
its signed and sealed and waiting to be delivered my friend

Simon Norris with his 900bhp evo uses superclutch for there drag clutches so I'm sure it will be more than man enough for the job

They do a full face clutch that holds 425ft/lbs at the fly. I have spoken to them before and they will make anything you need. The high power Focus guys rave about them.
Might be worth keeping in mind Luke.

A little update -
Car is currently having the clutch installed, along with speed sensors to show speed.
Upon removing the old clutch, we were not really sure what let go so were looking forward to seeing what happend.
Well this is what happend -
Whooooops!
The new twin plate ceramic kit arrived as stated above just before Christmas.
The ITG air filter also was falling apart so a new K+N filter has been ordered, which should be here this week hopefully. This will relocate the filter slightly higher in the engine bay/wheelarch. Then I need to order some new splash guards for the arches.
Few bits to do before its all set for another year.

I love it too so keep your C.V well away
Ahahah I blame my mate, last hing he said to m before I launched it was -
"BE BRUTAL"
The straight cut dog kit rattles itself im sure the clutch wont be heard over that. The fuel pump also does my bloody brain in too. Need to stick that under the car at somepoint.
We do need to meet up mate whens TA
