I'm pretty sure that if the monster stage 6 is anything like a spec stage 5 there is no actual break in recomended. Those are race clutches that aren't designed to last a lifetime. How do you think dedicated track cars break their clutches in? Prolly a 7k rpm leave off the line on 28" slicks!
To the OP I've been running my spec 3+ for about 2 years and almost 10k miles. LOTS of passes at over 700ft lbs of torque to the tires on slicks and drag radials. And even more highway pulls to the top of 4th, and a couple of 5th gears pulls against liter bikes. Clutch is still holding and only slips at the track when I slip the hell out of it at the track tring to get the car to leave on radials. But on slicks a 6k clutch dump it doesn't bat an eye. And mine drives great in traffic. But I'm a little more tolerable to things likethis then most people. I drive it with a spool to, and a 254/257 camshaft
if you want somthing to handle anything over 500 to the wheels and less than 900 I would go with the 3+. Or possibly a 4+, might be what I try next.
GOODLUCK!

We have sold and installed many Spec Stage 3+ clutch assemblies, and they have not failed us yet. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=29 Here is a Cadillac CTS-V that is producing 864 rwhp, that we installed the Spec Stage 3+ clutch in several years ago, it is still going strong after many miles on the street and some drag strip use. This V has a spool in it, which can put even more stress on the clutch. Bob
