spec 3 was great daily driving... but i only had a few thousand miles on it before i swapped the 6spd for a TH-400 on my old orange car.
the car only went 11.9 on a stupid soft 1.98 60' (but it went 119mph).
the car had a stealth cammed iron 402 - full weight 28" drag radial and 4.10 gears.
before that it was an SI motor w/ a 26" drag radial on stock wheels (also full weight). went 12.5 @ 112 w/ a 1.85 60'
the clutch wasn't great with the stock 3.42 gears - it was a little too agressive with a stock motor and gears. when i put the 12 bolt in w/ it's 4.10 gears it was a new animal. it was still agressive, but it felt great.
putting the clutch behind 450rwtq made the clutch feel right at home. it held all the power without a doubt, and drove almost like stock.
it's a great driving clutch with plenty of holding capability... but i have no first hand experience how it does long term. like i said, past a few thousand miles i wouldn't know.

I had close to 25K on my first CARTEK Clutch, then they came out with a new one and that one got about 15K miles on it as well.
The combination of the two had over 200 passes on them with mostly 1.4 and 1.5 60's in a 3450 to 3325lbs car.

Ram powergrip HD....daily driven and slipped to hell in traffic EVERDAY. I drive 600-700 a week. This clutch does chatter every once in a while. I have right around 15k miles on it, and it spins the tires in 3rd. I powershift it on a daily basis (when the roads are dry/warm), and do atleast a dozen WOT passes a day. Also, i like the heavier pedal pressure, it actually feels like a real clutch. When this one goes, i will probably buy another for the price. I have never had a good set of tires on the car, or any actual track launches though. It's just a 400rwhp daily driver.
