Is this clutch worth it?

Yo

Is a Star Spec 3 worth getting? Since I don't plan on doing any SERIOUS upgrades like heads and cam, just really a full exhaust and all the free mods (once I find out what they are)... and plan are having like 320hp but like 360lbs of torque...

I was wondering if having the Spec 3 would hurt me because my car isn't good enough for it? You know what i'm saying? L0L

Like... Its to good of a clutch, so its wearing faster, hurting my car, doing anything wrong, etc... I know a better clutch = more torque because of gripping power. But in that case, shouldn't I look for like a truck clutch? A big fat *** clutch for all the surface area for grip? Help me out please fellas...

spec 3 is aight, I like the street twin myself though man. You shouldn't have any probs, just the spec3 will be a little "rougher" engagement. Street twin is dual disk, drives close to stock, I have one I should know

The Spec Stage 3 kevlar is pretty good for a daily driver. It's not too stiff, and it feels like a stock clutch. I like mine, and it holds up to 400+ RWHP from a supercharged LT1.

Yo

So whats the difference between the two... One says Mcleod, one says Spec 3. When you mean engage, you mean when the car grips on the takeoff? Even with a normal startup for driving around town? Kind of confused... hrm

But it won't wear out or break any faster because of the lack of horsepower/torque?
