Default clutch? for forced induction

i currently have a spec 3 clutch and its starteing to slip at low rpms when i get on my head and cam car. Its only 3 years on and hasnt seen the track at all only highway miles about 4500 to be exact. I was thinking about upgrading it to a spec 3+ but i am going to procharge it in the future and was wondering what type clutches are people using if my motor was to put out 700 rwhp would the spec hold it or should i get another brand. Any help is appreciated.

Look into monster man. Only way I would go. I've had mine for a little over a year and it loves a good beat down. I launch at 6k on hoosiers in a 3700 lb camaro and cut 1.5s all day.

Have you noticed any evidence of leaks on the car (hydraulic fluid/RMS)? Slippage with mileage this low is unusual, especially if it was driven easily. At any rate if you want to pull the Stage 3 and send me pics I can tell you more about the cause, or if you want a Stage 3+ I will be happy to give you a break because you are a return customer. Let me know! Thanks,

i have no idea, i only have 3rd and 4th pulls on the interstate with it and very little 1st gear pulls with nitto drag radials because they spin to much with 4:10 gears. unless my slave cyl. is leaking on the cluth but there is know evidence of that because its in my garage and has ben driven 4 times in four months and no fluid on the ground or underneath the car.
