Default Best Racing clutch

Hey guys,

In the market for a new clutch since Im getting a lot of work done to my 04 GOAT this week. Currently making 450 RWHP, and plan on more gains in the future. Whats the best clutch in your opinion? Looking for specifics and why (metal types/ brands/ etc..)

Heres a quote from RAM (Sintered iron provides a degree of slippage on vehicle launch to prevent the violent and uncontrollable engagement characteristics of paddle type metallic discs). Im no expert but this sounds to me like a bad thing, sure its better for the car, but it sounds like this feature would take away from your performance, am I wrong?

YOU SHOULD POST THIS IN THE CLUTCH FORUM. I had two ram 910s and a ram 980 with bad luck. They did not last at all and in my case was worthless and all lasted less then a summer. However,the spec st3+ and the spec flywheel has been the best clutch for me. i usually get 3 years of street driving and pulling 1.4 60 foots at the track. it is smooth,light drives great and holds my 530hp motor at the track. This year i'll be throwing a 200shot on that 530hp and see what i get.
I also had a centerforce back in the day and would not tell anyone to buy that. Goodluck.
