Another What clutch to buy
I have a spec 3+ now and works fine not sure how much longer it will last. Has some miles on it and several hard launches. Is there any good clutch u can buy that don't have the 500 mile break in that will last? Car makes around 700rwhp and 800rwtq on a 150 shot. Will be going to a 250 shot soon. (LS3)

I've driven a Centerforce twin disc on a 780whp turbo Camaro. I described it like this before and I will here again: it felt like butter. Very easy, smooth engagement and pedal feel.

Break-in is intended to seat the materials and allow the clutch to provide the best durability, life expectancy, and smoothness. That being said it is suggested by most manufactures to help you get the most out of the parts you purchase. If you were happy with the 3+ you could always go back with it. Or, you could opt for our Stage 5 which doesn't require break-in but that is a bit more reace oriented in terms of feel and performance. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

I have a Mantic clutch in mine. They are made in Australia and have been tried and true over there for years. They have a neat pressure plate design. They also make a twin and tripple disc as well.

It's a street/Strip car. Not my dd. Prolly get's about 5 to 10,000 miles a yr put on it if it's lucky. I would say close to the 5k mark. I like the way the spec 3+ feels/grabs. How much different is the spec stage 5? Clutch pedal feel the same or is it harder??

The effort for the Stage 5 will be similar. Of course the Stage 5 uses a rigid disc and has a Sintered Iron (full metallic) disc facing. This means that it will be a little more aggressive in terms of engagement and that it will squeal a bit during engagement too but this is to be expected when using a Sintered Iron disc.

The proper flywheel is relative to the usage the car will see and the response that the car currently has with the stock flywheel. It sounds like you have been using the car fairly aggressively already. So you can supply info on the way it currently responds better than anyone.
Does it bog when launched? Or, does it spin the tires off when launched? If it bogs then using a heavier flywheel will help you get out of the hole better (in this case I would suggest a steel flywheel). If the car is spinning the tires excessively, which will hurt your times, then Aluminum will be the better option.
I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
