Default Dead Horse here..What Clutch to use???

I did my "searching" for about a month or so now. I have a for sure 600hp 412 built from the gents at LME. They said the car should put 500 to the wheels no problem. My numbers may be off but i dont live and breath here so help me out. I will not drag race this car or tear it up. I want to be able to drive this car anywhere and not feel like im driving a kenworth. If my lady wants to drive the car i want the ease to do so. It will be a dyno queen/ driver. I want to be able to stomp on it without worries. This will happen rarely. So far im looking into the ls7 setup or the monster. the chances of me adding any more "bolt on's" are zero. This is all it will be for now. I need EVERYTHING to make the car move under its own power x-cept the trans and shifter. Thanks for taking the time to reply Jason.

an ls7 would be underrated for your setup. i would take a look into textrailia if you want clamping force and ease of driveability

I liked my SPEC 3+ better than my LS7. That's what I would go with. Probably the most common clutch out there.

Hey Malibu, As you can clearly see...there are lots of options available. But, based on the info you have provided and your desire for a worry free, torque capable, and daily drivable unit it sounds like a Stage 3+ would be a great option. And to top it off it's easy enough to drive that the wife will enjoy it too...Let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to assist you.

Thanks for the support Sharpe and 1998!

I'm confused... do you want a price quote for both clutches? Just want to clarify...
