dump the spec for a textralia. and as far as the heads, if your on a fairly tight budget id say go with PRC LS6 heads from TSP. Awesome heads. If you do have the money the AFRs cant be beat. JMO though

The fatest cam only car runs a Spec-4 clutch, so my question is why not? If it is good enough for his car it would probably be just as good for someone elses.

If you are going to go spec and you plan on driving on the street get the Spec 3+ and that is more than enough clutch for your setup .

And terminator heads are about 600 less also

I think FAST 90/90 setup is a bit over kill with cam only car
