Default Thinking about replacing my clutch

Right now, the car is basically all apart from the bell housing to where the differential sits at so I am thinking about doing a new clutch since I never did it in the first place when I got my cam and heads..

What kind of clutch would you recommend. I got 442rwhp/403 torque.. I am looking at the Star Spec Stage II..

That should hold fine. The stage three is good for 700 rwt so if you are planning on spraying I would go ahead with the stage three. BTW nice numbers. Cartex cars are making some good power.

yeah, Spec clutchs are pretty damn good. The II will be enough for a good bit more in your power gains.

Personally, I'd go with a clutch that is SFI. That means McLeod or Ram.
