I have a spec stage 4 and I love it but it's really on/off alot of people wont want to daily drive it but I don't have too much of a problem. IMO stay away from the ram power grip hd I had one and only put 2000 miles on it then put my new motor in and it didn't hold for one dyno pull
See, its hard to make a decision based on drivability for me, I'll i've driven are C5's with LS6 clutches. I would really like to buy a clutch once though.

I wanted to go with the ST bur I was being cheap at the time which I regret doing. I have the centerforce DFX. It holds great but I'm getting annoyed with the chatter. It's held great at the track launching at 4500 on spray, even with my stock trans.

I'm over 500whp on the juice & running a Monster stage 4. smooth & engages real well. i've heard alot of hit or miss about spec. a couple of friend had different ones & some where good & some not. all 3's or 4's . one guy replaced a stage 3 plus after 3 months. so it scared me away from the spec product. I didn't want to take any chances.

too bad monster doesn't make an LT1 clutch
Anyways, I've had a stock replacement, a ram powergrip hd, and now the spec 5... not one single clutch issue... EVER. The only reason I went with the Spec 5 is I wanted to get away from a sprung hub. the way I see it, less stuff to break and possibly cut off your feet.

when i was m6 i ran the mcloud twin, feel stock, maybe a little stiff and never slipped. i would run one again! this was at around 600rwhp. oh and every personally experience with sped is its kinda hit or miss! the spec twin is nice tho! this was in an ls car, and i hate the text exo. i have it in my vette and HATE it!!!!!

Monster claims that they will have a LTx clutch out soon. I call them every couple of months or so for an update. They are currently tweaking the PP and trying to come up with a plan of record design that they are happy with. Seeing how many positive reviews and lack of negative ones there are on their products from the LSx guys, I am looking forward to maybe getting one.
My Spec 3+ just does not have the grip it used (10K miles) but is streetable once you slightly adjust your take off. It is a fast clutch and drives good with very little chatter but now wont grab 3rd and barely grabs 2nd gears. When it was new, it would easily make a 10 bolt instant carnage with a dump. The disk has definitely worn away a lot of my PP and flywheel. Hopefully it will hang on a little longer.
I would like a ST but I cant justify the cost.

Guess I will probably be upgrading to a ST soon. My SPEC-3 has held up well to over 625HP but I don't think it's going to like the new setup. Mike, do you still have the McLeod part numbers for what you got?
