I read on cobalt-addiction the differances between all the stages of the spec clutches. I am interested in either the stage 3 or the stage 3 plus. The stage three plus says for heavily modified street and race engines making more torque then the stage three can support. My question is....my engine is basically stock with a CAI and cold air intake, this clutch wouldn;t be too much for it would it?

bump for some answers

im also confsed about all of them.. i think im going with the spec stage 2+.. i think that is more then good enough except if your doing a turbo build and race all the time

the stock clutch on the supercharged models is capable of handling up to 320hp/320lbs-ft. so unless you plan on pushing past that i would see no need to upgrade except to waste money honestly.

stick with a 2+ or even just a stage 1 if you want spec, or go for a centerforce df. for what you have its not worth sacrificing driveability and longevity with a 3+.

3+ is way to much for you. go 2+ at most

i just got the spec stg II kit installed. my guy actually told me i should go bigger with the mods i have, and am getting next month. the original clutch went out a couple weeks ago and after the upgrade to the stage II there was a serious difference. it was very touchy. i can imagine the 3 or 4 kits will be way worse. its all about what you want to do with your car...

the spec +3 has a rating of 350+hp and 350+tqr the stage 3 is only around 300-320, but the stage +3 is a little harder to push in that the stock clutch, but after driving it for about a few weeks you cant notice the differance, the stage 3 kit would be very touch, the differance with the +kits is there more street friendly but also have a high rating of hp and tqr, but everyone has there own opinion, i have the +3spec and i love it, and it was right for me im in the 350+-400 range...

Honestly you cannot go "to big" on the clutch kits. Between the spec stage 2 thru 3+ the clutch petal is the same.

Daily driving IMO is EASIER with the "+" series. "+" series have a full faced disc, where as the normal series have a "PUC" design, and ingage harder, however the full faced ("+") series hold more...

ok i have a question pertaining to this too. IF i am able to get up to 400hp would the stage 3+ be ok or do i need to go higher?

3+ should hold it fine, the 3+ holds more than the stage 4 we believe

blazinbaltss

forst off i think this might be true for some people but not all because i know some guys i mean a lot of guys whos clutches are going or have gone. So personally i say get the stage three it should be enough for any mod that you do even turbo i would say and look at a 6 puck

i agree with him he knows his ****

*sigh* more money to spend to achieve my goals...lol

i have the spec stg 3. ive had it for only 30 thousand miles and its pretty much gone. i do mostly street driving. so my question is which clutch would last the longest stg1-stg5 and i dont plan on going past 300-350 whp

Considering you burned out a high end clutch in 30k miles, and probably the stock one in far less?

An automatic.

JCobalt

ok thats not helping. i used to launch the car alot and race alot but now im just gonna go to the track ounce in a while. im guessing it wore out fast because i used to ride the the clutch out the whole to try and keep traction but anyways, does n e one have input

Stage 3+ would be the longest lasting IMO. It is a "full face disc" and has a lot more surface area.
