Questions about spec stage 4

Well my spec stage 3 kevlar finally started slipping yesterday. I have a 1st gen design that is 3 years old and has served its purpose. I currently am putting down about 360 rwhp, but I am adding nitrous and a 9" 4.10 rear this winter. I want to know if the stage 4 will be able to handle about 500 rwhp. From what I have read it seems like it will, but I would like to be sure.

I also want to know where the cheapest place to buy one is. Thanks for any help!!!!

Just installed mine last week and reused my flywheel. LMPerformance seems to be the cheapest place to buy them. Mine including shipping was $524.

Re: Questions about spec stage 4

Well I finally have the money to get the clutch but I have one question. Should I still go with the stage 4 or should I just get a stage 3. Check my sig for current mods. Keep in mind that I'm getting n20 this winter along with a new rear end. Thanks for any help!!!!

Re: Questions about spec stage 4

Just got mine to.. Along with a nice steel flywheel.. The stage 3 and stage 4 is the same clutch, just there is no sprung hub.. if you want a good write up to read about on them go to www.nastyss.com and click F body and click clutches.. There is a good write up about the stage 4.. I broke the stage 3 where the springs are, they warrantied it and sent me a stage 4..

Re: Questions about spec stage 4

CountryMuzic,

Nice site, what do you think of the Street twin? Is there a reason why you never tried it?

Let us know after you get some miles on that stage 4 what you think of it?
