I have had the Spec3+ for a season now with out any issues. I have only been down the 1320 about a dozen times with the clutch and many miles of spirited driving. My tuner ran a Spec 5 with 750RWHP for about two years and he had no issues either.
After reading some others horror stories about clutch failure I am thinking hard about soem type of containment for the bellhousing area. The more I think of the issue it seems not matter what clutch you run it is a good idea to add some safety backups here.

Smart man.
Highly suggest a bellhousing capable of handling an impact like that. i know there is magnesium bellhousings available.... I currently use a blanket,...which, gives me some piece of mind. I have a universal one, which, with the LG pro crazy 25 foot long tubes....it's hard to work with. I think maybe exotic muscle, sells SPECIFIC blankets for our applications.
Very smart purchase.
Werd up. Just picked up a exo skel from my buddy wavrdr. dude really hooked me up...which I thank him very much for. Very cool. He's having GREAT success with his in his built motor Z06 launching at the track. No issues.

V-SERIES TECH, Thanks for the Exotic Muscle name, searched and found a SFI approved tranny blanket for 180.00. No brainer, Its on order. Hopefully I will not have fitment issues with the TT setup I am working on.

Your very , very welcome my friend. Best wishes on the project.
Your right Phil, it is a shame. This is a company that i'd be gungho about. i'd tell people straight up to there face that this(spec) was the best clutch. Turns out, 100% of humans are imperfect,...therefore, I was wrong. Now, after dealings with people from that company,...which obviously weren't good in the outcome department,....people outta know.
And thats what this is about.
