Another clutch thread, this is getting old.
Everyone is going to tell you 50 different clutches, read up and find out which one is for you. Most are going to tell you either Exedy HD or Tilton, I went with Tilton.

Clutches are rated by torque, not hp but I assume that 650awhp is around 550 ftlbs at the wheels which is probably a little over 600 ftlbs at the flywheel, correct? THe next questions are going to be what kind of use and what is important to you as far as benefits and tradeoffs. We have clutches to handle that kind of power and they are reasonably priced. They are not fancy and in most cases don't need to be. You don't have to buy one that is fancy and expensive to be effective. Just take Turbotrix for example running quite a bit more power than that, consistently running 9's and using a real no-frills ACT setup. But if you are no doubt putting thousands into this motor, don't buy a clutch just because it is "cheap". Buy the one that is going to give you the balance of benefits and tradeoffs that you desire. I would be glad to discuss further if you drop me a PM.
