Default Clutch Suggestion Come in!

Hello guys, I had my Ram Powergrip HD installed about 7k miles ago and it took a crap on me already. Do you guys think it couldn't handle the torq? My car makes 555rwtq on a 100 shot and will make about 600wtq on the 150.

I was thinking of getting the Spec 3+ due to that it is my daily driver. Dont get me wrong I don't spray all the time, I sprayed about 1 time a month when my clutch was good. But I think I tore the RAM up when I went to the track and did like 6 passes back to back. So anyone that is pretty good on clutches or has had or has the spec 3+ if you guys can chime in and give me the heads up on it and how do you think it will do with my setup.

Thx guys!

I would get a 3+ for your situation. I have one and its a great clutch, I make around 650 tq on the spray and the clutch holds.

I am sure a Textrailia would do the trick too.

I'm no NO2 expert... but I've had great luck with the LS7. I don't know if it'd be any good with your nitrous, though. It'd be great if you never sprayed.... lol. Just don't buy stock or Centerforce, and wait for an expert to give you some better advice.

Thanks you guys for the input.

Any others?

Btw are spec flywheels good? I am thinking of going with a Billet steel.

It is supposed to hold like 850lbs of torque. I hit mine with about 700lbs of torque and it has been fine. It is a good clutch to drive around on too especially if you have an adjustable master so you can mess with the engagement point.

Bubba- sorry to hear about your clutch man!

Mine just took a crap on me too. Less than 3000 miles on it.

I'm considering going with a Textralia this time. I will glady pay for a good streetable clutch that will last

Good luck bro!

LS7 with drill mod no problems yet, in fact it is a night and day difference from my stock. It is great on the road for DD. I think I read it is good for about 500rwhp. I do not what you are putting down with NO2 hit.

I've got a LS7 clutch laying around.

If I never planned on spraying the car again, this would be the "perfect" clutch for me.

However, I do plan on spraying the car more in the future. I should be near 500rwhp and closer to 600rwtq now. IMO, this is pushing it for the LS7. I believe I'm going to give the Textralia a shot.
