Default *which Clutch?

been out of the game for a few years so im not sure whats the hot ticket. but looks like its still the same old clutches.
i currently run a RAM powergrip HD. its finally worn out.
i want to spend less than $500 (no flywheel needed) and it needs to handle 440rwhp + a 200 shot. this car is driven alot on the street.

the spec 3, spec 4, and powergrip HD are all about the same price.

any suggestions with these 3? any other suggestions?
i wish they gave HP ratings on these. i saw somewhere that it said the Spec 3 was good for 680hp?

If you go with a spec 3+ wont' you need the new flyweel and that puts that clutch at about 750 or so?

I dont' think you need to be using a stock flywheel with 650 HP.

Most people love the 0z700 but its a 1000 bucks.

thats too much.
want under $500
im running a spec flywheel.
i think a standard spec 3 will do me. from reading looks like its good for 680hp and 830 torque.

anyone know HP limits of the powergrip HD? its allitle cheaper.

amen to that. im suprised you remember my clutch shattering episodes. lol 3 shattered clutches in 9 months

i called thunder. he really didnt have any answers. he couldnt find any torque or HP #s for the RAM. and was kinda reluctant to give any real suggestions or comparisons.

i just wish i knew which was bigger, teh spec 3 (normal) or the powergrip HD
