Default Which clutch to get?

Not a daily driver, but driven a few times per week. Will be roughly 44Xrwhp/38X ft-lbs n/a. Some track. What would you recommend. I was going to try the LS7/LS2 flywheel combo, but I really would rather just do the install once and not have to worry about it again in case the ls7 won't hold. Recommendations? Thanks!

I have no doubt that it could. However, nitrous may be in the future and that would be me over 540 hp. I just really don't want to go through the trouble of installing a clutch now just to have to put in another one in a couple thousand miles. I may just suck it up and purchase the TEXtralia clutch. I hear good things about it...

I really like what I have read about the Textralia, however I am having a hard time deciding if I should go with the exo-skel or not. Is it worth the extra bank to have the twin disk?

Bump! What's everybody think of the Spec Stage 3+ or Spec Stage 4?? I can get a good deal on a Spec3+ setup to where the PP/Disk/Flywheel/Slave/Pilot are half the price of the Tex....Worth it or just bank for the Tex?

Read about how many are running the spec and have had problems with them. I am planning on being around the same rwhp as you and I already ordered my LS7/LS2 combo. I am gonna try not to get involved with spray but it might happen once I install the kit on the 94 Z28 I am working on.

How sure are you that it will hold the power for a while? I don't want to spend the time and money on a clutch now to just have to replace it again after a few track passes.....I do hear a lot of mixed reviews on the Spec clutches though. I am quite torn.....
