Really dont want a clutch that is just on or off. Hoping something like a spec 2+ or something will hold up and have a more stock like feel. Im also not rich though so if there isnt a slightly affordable option out there, then what is plan B ?
Im at 600hp flywheel plus 175 shot

Ive heard they are expensive and make horrible friction noise when clutch is disengaged.

ive only moved my car about 50 feet since ive installed my rxt but in those 50 feet the clutch felt amazing... easy pedal, no chatter at all and could feather the clutch just like a stock one. cant wait to lay some turbo power into it and see how it likes it

twin is definitely going to be smoother and street friendly, I didn't feel like paying up, so I got a Spec 3+, no chatter easy engagement, stiff pressure plate though, I love it, but its in a stripped down 240sx don't know if it would chatter with a heavier car.

McLeod Racing RST Street Twin Assembly (1997-2011 GM LS Series & 2001-1/2-2010 Ford 4.6L & 5.4L)

The RST, my recommendation, is good up to 800 HP. The RXT is good up to 1000 HP but uses a little more aggressive friction discs to hold the power. For streetability for cars over 500-600 HP I recommend the RST.

Spec Stage 3 is perfect after few hundred break-in miles. I'm putting down ~620rwhp
in 3400lb car. Great in stop-go traffic and cuts numerous low 1.40 60ft's at the track
