Just find a clutch that will meet your torque requirements. My guess is a stage two of whatever. I have a spec stage 2 rated to 340 tq. Are you planning on doing the clutch yourself?

Thanks for the reference!

OP: You may want to consider the SPEC Stage 2+ or 3+

I wasn't being a dick haha I was just saying..I always bash spec cause their customer service is terrible as Well as their clutches so I try to steer everyone away

Clutchmaster seems like a better clutch and I k ow a few people who if they did have an issue at least cm helped them out and didn't tell them it was completely their fault
