spec stage 5?
spec stage 5? so ive been trying to wait for the monster clutches to come out for the lt1's but if they dont in time i might go with spec. anybody ever street drive a stage 5? how bad is it?
I know, I know...my response is biased, but I would bet that I have more experience with most of our offerings than others that may respond. That being said here is my perspective of the SC425 (Stage 5 for the LTI).
As you may know our stage 5 disc is effectively 1/5 of a top-fuel dragster clutch pack. It uses a Sintered Iron disc that has a fantastic friction coeffecient but as a result the material is fairly soft. Remember this is for all intents and purposes a race clutch. But if it meets your needs relative to capacity and planned usage it will likely provide exactly what you are looking for.
If driven on the street, or slipped excessively, then it will wear faster than a comprable carbon-semi-metallic type disc (like the one use in stage 3+). Sintered Iron, due to its metallic nature, will squeal during engagement. But, because it has a full-faced design it will actually be progressive in terms of engagement. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
