OMG! Clutch again...

Well i ve search and read a ton of post on this board.No one seems to agree on clutch kit quality.Some say that SPEC sucks and other love them,same thing with other brand(zoom,hays,ram,centerfocre etc)

-My car is a street summer car that i drive with a lot of spirit
-It will see track 1 or 2 times a year for fun.But again its a street car.
-Hp will be in the range of 340/350whp with good tune(mods in sig).
-I dont want to change clutch each and every year(reliability)

I dont think that i need a street twin but i could be wrong So what are my option for a good clutch kit and flywheel?

Thank you

I really like to push each gear to the limit just like drivers do on road circuit.

Yo know, you enter a long long curve and you put it in 3rd then you hit the gas to the floor and when you feel the back of the car slipping you pull of just to take the control back but floor it again the second after

I really enjoy hard shifting and do some 0 to 120mph or more on empty countryside road with my friend.

This is my spririted driving

My SPEC II has lasted almost 3 years now compared to 2 stock clutches I wasted...but thats stock. A SPEC II or McLeod single should work fine for your power levels. Stick with the stock flywheel unless you end up going street twin....which isnt necessary at all.

Will it hold my power?

Thanks
