im building a turbo ls1 in a 67 camaro and gonna shoot for 650 hp. will a spec 3 clutch work out for that?

 

oh comeon someone knows the answer to this

 

a definitive no

 

Y not it's there rated for 800 ft lbs of torque

 

625rwhp/ 535rwtq my Spec 3 is slipping

I am currently pulling it out to upgrade to a McLeod twin disc.

 

mine let go the first time at the track on slicks after the turbo setup. roughly 575 rwhp. barely made it down the return road and couldnt even get on the trailer. clutch had approx 6k miles on it. worked great on a heads/cam/75 shot setup but the turbo killed it

 

What are you planning to make for torque? I ask because the clutch will be rated to handle a set torque output. I am sure that the Stage 3 would be a fine option for you but let me know a bit more about your planned usage too and I will be happy to make a recommendation. Thanks!

 

One thing to point out is with Spec, and a few others is do not excessivly slip the clutch out for street driving. It is one of the main reasons clutches that are designed for higher HP use cannot handle too much slipping. Unfortunately thats a driving decision but it is something to be mindful of. Drive it like a man and you will never have a worry.

The reason for the point out is the majority of clutch failures can be directly pinpointed to operator error and as much as I am not a fan of certain clutches, I think many get a bad rep due to operator error.

 

so what clutch would u guys recommend for say 700 hp and a decent amount of street driven. also I'm on a super budget here lol
