don't think so... i was going to get a centerforce dfx, but just reinstalled my ram powergrip hd because I'm waiting to see what monster comes out with. I'd be happy to test oneof their clutches at the 650 rwhp level. just waiting

yea i know my powergrip hd is only going to last a few passes, then im gonna have to tear it all out again. dont get me wrong, i love that powergrip hd, just making too much power now and i dont expect much from it at this point.

i dunno i just want an alternative to a street twin. i already had to buy a 400 dollar flywheel for my internal balance cola crank, now i just want a good single disk lt1 clutch... waiting.

well lik it says in my sig i hav a 9.80 goal (atleast) and im hopin for about 700rwhp on a 200 shot. and id go twin disk but i feel that 1300 for a clutch is alot. but if they dont come out with there clutch befor i need it i guess twin disk is the only option and wicked it seems lik your about the same

yep same kinda goal for me, i'd rather try a spec stage 5 before i go ST. i dont need a clutch to be streetable or last 20k miles. just need something to grab at the track that doesnt cost over 1k. thats why i didnt get the dfx, because hey advertise great streetability, aka wont hold at the strip.

yea my car has a bit different purpose i drive the car daily and wen im done i dont plan to have that change. driving a complete racecar on the street is a fine idea to me especially a nitrous car. so any opinions on a stage 3+?

i just hear the springs and hubs like to come apart. thats why i'd use a stage 4 or 5 with the solid hub. wait i think you're talking about monster not spec?

spec 3+ still has a sprung hub... that's the problem with them they like to blow up
