spec stage 4, stage 5, or Ram Powergrip HD

I pretty much never drive on the street. Maybe twice a month. I would like a clutch that can handle lots of hard launches, cause I do not want to take this transmission out again.

So I know Specs have had a bad reputation, but since the stage 4 does not come with the springs(I think that is correct) will this get rid of the problems that they have been known for. What do you recommend for the pads on the Stage 4, kevlar, carbon, or ceramic pads? Also since I may only drive twice a month on the street should I just get the Spec stage 5. What do you think about Ram Powergrip HD?

I know with a 150shot of nitrous I should be making around 550rwhp. So this is probably all overkill but like I said I don't want something that won't last. Also if I ever upgrade it can be handled. Thanks for any help.

my old spec 3 ceramic just went when i started launching on slicks at the dragstrip, so i'm in the market as well. I'm thinking mcleod street twin for when I build a motor and make around 650rwhp, which is obviously overkill with my power level now. The only problem i see with the street twin is they are so hard on the driveline. What kind of power level will the new specs handle on slicks with a sticky track?

I think the street twin is very hard on the trans input shaft
