Does the SPEC 3+ have a nice stockish feel to it? I mean, I know its gonna be a little stiffer, But how much is what I wanna know and how do you like it?

It feels like stock still able to slip it a lil on take offs, no slipping at all on any pulls. I like the clutch I would deffinantly buy it again.

I'd just like to repeat what someone already eluded to.... Your stock Trans will dump gears on the road if you NLS with an upgraded clutch on 400whp (I assume your torque is up there too as that's what does the damage). You should be looking at a built Trans if you wanna play that game.

This. I replaced two transmissions for a local LNF when he went big turbo/clutch. Broke all the teeth of a gear once, blew the side of the case open the second time. Not worth it IMO.

I NLS'd like it was going out of style on a KY3 with 380tq, no problems besides random misfires from old plugs.
