Spec Stage II not enough for 400 rwhp eh?
I believe it's rated at 450 flywheel HP? I JUST bought the damn thing before I spun a bearing. I put 800 miles on it, barely broken in, and then spun the bearing. Now I've got this hefty 383 setup going togother that should do 400+ to the wheels, so I imagine this clutch isn't going to cut it. Do you know if SPEC lets you trade up? 
I highly doubt it. If this clutch ain't gotta cut it, what's it worth with 800 miles? I know it cost me right around $425...

I am looking to get that clutch, because I think it will be better for everday driving than the Stage III. Where did you get it for $425? I think Thunderracing has it for $440. Also, did it hold well on your previous setup?
A guy I talked to at the track had one in his LS1 and he said it was slipping with DR's and Nitrous. Said it was fine with just the DRs, but the Nitrous would make it slip.

I actually got it for a little less than that, but the cost to send him a money order was like $18 
I never really got to check how it held, I was just going easy on the car, break-in procedures etc. (800 miles), so I never got on it hard, but I would imagine that it would hold pretty darn good. Hell it better for what it cost me. I'm just questioning how it will hold now with the new 383 stroker setup I'm going with, I think I need a new one. Any ideas what this is worth? http://paradox.shacknet.nu/dave88lx/...utch/spec2.jpg
