So what's the best clutch today? Okay another day and another clutch. My Z06 clutch just started acting funny after 2 weeks-it would let em shift inot gears at wot so the car is coming out again. I had the exedy before that and it didn't last woirth a poop at 440 rwhp. At 370 rwhp my stock Z06 clutch lasted for 2 years with over 150 6000 rpm dump the clutch passes. I've detuned the car and now make only 410 rwhp so I'm back to the LS6 clutch but it didn't even make it to the track. So I need to get a clutch on monday cause my car's coming apart. I was thinking the Ram powergrip hd but it doesn't seem like it's a street clutch, then i was think the just the powergrip but i haven't heard any positive reviews on it. The Specs-well how's one to decide 1,2,3,4 or 5 then 3F or #r or 3I what's the deal with these? The website only shows a 3 or 3+? The Textralia which everyones raving about-well everyone did the same with the Exedy a few years back and guess what-they suck! So right now i'm thinking the 06 Z06 clutch or the Cartek. Car is a daily driver so you have to be able to slip the clutch a bit-none of this on off clutch ****-had enough with my Exedy. Oh and i'm going to mod again-get my car in the 450-475 rwhp range again too. Right now it seems like the Cartek is the way to go-all the fast C5's run it-then agian the new Z06 probably makes around 450 rwhp and it's running 11.5's pretty easily. so what do you guys suggest TODAY! sorry if I sound pessimistic but this is just bullshit-someones has to make a good clutch-maybe I should just buy a Ford.

So right now my options are the Ram Powergrip, Spec 3+, and the LS7 clutch. Car is at 420rwhp right now and will be getting a good dose more over the winter. Honestly the spec has me scared right now-any feedback on the 3+?
