How streetable is this clutch? I'm running a decent size cam (check sig) so I would need to slip it on occasion. How would it compare to a Spec 3?

You'll be fine. I think most of the guys that do this run the iron disk from the stage 5 and the unsprung hub. MightyMouse says it drives fine, and I think 99SS-T too. I know Darkblue TA personally, he has that setup, says it drives fine, even slips about the same as his stage 3, but you can here the unsprung hub clang pretty good, not a concern, just means its working.

I haven't driven the stage 4 in his car, but did the S3.

It takes alittle getting used to(unsprung hub). Other than that you should be fine.

mabey it's just me but i think the spec 4 is better than the spec 3 i noticed no diffrence at all. i say get the 4 so you dont have to worry about blowing the hub springs out.

On the street it's fine. On the track, well, I have welded 2 disks to the FW. Both at over 1000 breakin miles.

SPEC said it was cause I was in the water box heating up the ET streets. Go figure.

Should I get the six blade or the four blade? What's the difference?

currently i have the spec 3 X-pad and love it but will be going with the 5 when it goes out . the 3f is actully more than the 5 and ive seen a few 3f's weld at the track . the newer stage 5's drive great other than a little squek on the shifts however it will hold almost anything you throw at it.
