Ram power grip good to 550hp. I use this clutch and highly recommend it. Mine takes a beating at the track and on the street daily.

I have a Spec Stg. 3 going into my car. Claimed stock like driveability and can hold 680 ftlbs. I have no doubts it will hold the power my car will be making which should be almost 100rwhp more than yours. The stage 2 spec should be just fine for you.

Funny, the guys on the local fbody board said nothing but good things about a spec 3. Only ones that complained about the chattering were the ones that didnt properly break in the clutch.

I have the Spec stage 3 and it does seem to chatter but only if you ride the clutch instead of popping it. It seems to hold up pretty well with my car and I'm putting down 475.

I hated my spec at first - it was horrible to drive!!almost impossible to pull out in rain and even dry sometime.. Did lots of reading on the LS1 board, a few guys said "take it out, dump it a couple of times at 5000 and it will be ok" Well after about 100 mile break-in I took it to track, world of difference!!! Its still a little difficult to drive, but thats the nature of a ceramic disc I think.. No chatter, just grabbs a little... Weird, you don't feel anything while letting it out,car will just start to move then it grabs..
Not a very linear feel.. I like it alot though - wish I had money for the 3+ at the time..
