Im building my car right now and it looks like im going to end up around 340rwhp give or take a few. There is no way i going to put back in a stock clutch with 60k on it on a fresh engine build. So i am open to suggestions. I have already searched and didnt really find the kind of information ive been looking for.
I want something that will hold my power level and still drive similar to stock. I know something stronger will be less friendly but dont want to end up with something too heavy or grabby.
So far im thinking a spec stage or or mcloeod single disk. But ive heard so much dirt about spec over the years im afraid to buy something from them.
thanks

 

I know I dont have as much power as you do but I have a completely overkill clutch (im planning on alot of future mods, I'm thinking H/C) and dont mind it that much, but of course it depends on how much driveablity you want, I really like my spec clutch setup. But for streetablity I would go with a spec stage 3. Not to grabby but holds alot of power, plus, alot of my freinds have spec on thier f-bodies and they arent having any problems. But thats not to say nobody has problems with them!
I would do a search on clutch's if I were you, there is TONS of good info in these forums, take care man! Peace.

 

i already mentioned that ive serached. Im thinking a spec stage 3 would still be too much clutch and am still afraid to buy something from them.

 

Stock clutches are good. I just put my stock clutch back in about 10k ago after a rebuild and it has over 100k on it and engine is about 375 hp. Your tires will spin before the clutch slips unless you use sticky tires.

 

really? i was under the impression that my clutch would be slipping under this much horsepower.
I dont know if i would feel comfortable putting back in a stock clutch with 60k and 75 plus track passes in when i gain another 75-85 rwhp.

 

If you are not comfy with the stock clutch, get a street twin and be done with it. IMO Spec is junk.

 

the twin would be overkill for my setup. And theres no way im going to pop 1200 for a clutch
