6M Guys making 500+? What clutch are you guys using? I have a Spec3 and it only lasted 5k miles. I daily drive the car when its running so need some feedback on a good clutch. I know this is the FI section but wanted opinion from here.

I have a Spec 3+ going in right now but it's because my RAM 980 went out tuning the car. That clutch held 525 rwhp after ~20k miles it was rated ~550 fwhp. A few people have said the Spec 3+ is a really good clutch but I find lot of bad reviews on here. Was yours a 3+ or just a 3? I think the best bet from the research I have done is Mcloed twin disc or Exedy Twin disc. Not sure what Textralia has but they may be an option also.

I have had my same spec stage 3 for prolly 20k on it.I think they either hold forever or go to easily.Id go spec 4 or on of the new rams.If you have the money you could go with one of the high dollar twin disks.They really work the best

my Spec 2 is a great clutch. I have heard bad reviews but it was in the car when I bought it and it grabs great and is easy to drive. I have ran it at the strip back to back to back and I think it grabbed harder on the third run so it definitly wasnt slipping. I was launching at 3k with a quick dump. I know I dont have a whole lot of power (342hp/346tq) but I give it hell and it just does what I want it to.
