I have the stock clutch for now, with a stock car. Once I get my Headers, plugs, and wires... I am assuming some clutch breakage... but am gonna try to make it until I do my cam install...

So its going to be a set of LT's, XE227/233 Cam, and tune from Ion. I was told 360rwhp is about where I should be. Which clutch should I go with? Full clutch that is... new everything on the clutch. What does that include anyway?

I was think Spec 4 because I heard its very close to stock clutch and its a lot harder to break then the Spec 3. Or should I go with the McLeod Street Twin? Cash is a problem, but I do want reliability and quality.

 

I'm runing the stage III and its holding up great, prolly have 6k and 20+ passes on it, most of them with bfg dr's. i've never had experience with the 4 or 5, there was a guy on here that tried the 5 and took it out the same day, i guess the 4 drives simularly to the 3 but without the sprung center section.

 

The sprung center section is the problem with the Stage 3, I have went through 2 in a stock car, the first one took out my trans with it. I hear the Stage 4 feels exactly the same as the 3, and you dont have to worry about the LOW quality, tiny, center section that is used on the stage 3.

 

Stage 4

Unless this is a daily driver in a very heavy traffic area...ie stop and go traffic on the freeway.

I love my stage 4, but was getting a little worried when i went to Kansas city and got stock in traffic, clutch heated up, started groaning and being really grabby.

 

I do live in a traffic area and it is my daily driver. I want something that grabs hard. It doesn't have to be a spec... Street Twin I know is great, but I dunno... variables involved need to be considered...

Want Power but streetability for a daily driver.

Spec 3 seems to low quality from what i've been reading. I'll spend the extra cash if I must, just need the correct one.

 

No one?

 

Need someone with a street twin to chime in and tell how they handle heavy traffic mega stop and go situations.

 

If its a true daily driver then I wouldnt get a spec at all. People claim that they drive like stock but they dont. Get a Mcleod, they actually do feel like stock clutches. The street twin would be the best bet but even the single disk worked for me for about 4 years of daily driving and 500+rwhp. It didnt start slipping till I started making over 600rw.

 

I can honestly say i felt no difference going from my STOCK clutch to a spec stage 4 ceramic.

Only difference i have noticed is how it heats up in heavy stop and go traffic, and does chatter more.

 

First you say this,

And now your claiming this???,

Chris specifically said that it is for a daily driver and he lives in a high traffic area. I seriously doubt that he wants to worry about his clutch heating up and groaning and getting grabby in stop and go traffic. Now try and back up on a slight incline with a heated up spec clutch...it sucks.

Now dont get me wrong, the spec clutch is a great clutch. It grabs hard on those high rpm launches and it never slips. But for advise on a true daily driver and not a weekend car I would have to stick with Mcleod.

 

Under normal driving situations it acts just like the stock clutch.

But i do agree if its for a daily driver in a place with insane traffic, get something else.

 

Thanks CJ... L0L I'll have to ask about the McLeod
