That's a good question. I'm looking for an answer, too.
Some would say get the SLP kit, some swear by the SPEC and there are the folks who say pay more now, never have problems later=> Street Twin.

If they don't stop me, I'll get the twin for sure.

I think the street twin is overkill, but I am leaning towards a spec II or III. I have heard bad things about all of them. I have personal exp. with a centerforce df on my supercharged 3rd gen. I loved it but I hear bad things about them on 4th gens.

I've heard of the slp failing under big shots, if you're gonna keep the 150 I'd go spec stage 3. That's what i'm running, no problems with it so far.

I have a Street Twin. The only slipping I get is from my drag radials.

Spec IV disc with a Centerforce press plate....just cause I had it from the useless DF. Stripped all the material off the one side of the CF, which ended up to be only stock friction material anyway.

IMHO if I were to do it on a streetcar with N2O, I'd just use the stock press plate and a new Spec III disc (6 pucks now instead of the old 4). They're all the same Valeo press plates until you get a Street Twin, then they're modified a little bit.

After frying a clutchnet kevlar disc I went to the SPEC 3 carbon.....it was holding up to the 150 shot fine . When I pulled the motor to do the 383 it showed very little wear. It took alittle getting use to because it engages higher and harder than the stocker, but it will hold .

If you can afford it, get the Street Twin. Think about this: did you ever see anything negative posted about this clutch (except about the price)?
