Which Clutch

Well, I had plans on getting the spec staged 1 clutch for my car but everytime I tell someone what im getting they tell me not to get spec that they aren't good. So what do you recommend in the 400-500 range for clutch.

sorry guys I mean't price :P not hp.

ya i know of a few guys with the tvs with stock clutch and over 50k miles and no problems but i wouldnt suggest getting a clutch not rated for what your gonna make thats all,

haha i read the thread wrong , i thought he was going to be making 4-500hp asking about a clutch to hold that... not 4-500 dollars hahaha

my spec 3 plus grabs like a mother ****** . it does not slip and are rated to 555 lbs of tq.the spec 2 plus is a good clutch also if you dont plan on making a bunch of power it will hold over 400 ft tq and is a lot cheaper.if you go with spec get the spec flywheel also.
