Question Spec Stage 1 w/ 426hp/397tq ?

i noticed spec stage 1 has a torque capacity of 599
http://www.specclutch.com/cars/Chevy/Camaro/2000/Single

S.P.E.C. Inc, the innovator in LSX clutch technology, introduces this new line of single disc performance clutches and flywheels for LSX powered applications. The Super Single line is now the standard offering and features torque capacity increases of 150 ft lbs per stage over the previous generation SPEC units, with a pedal effort reduction of over 25%!
now im well under that. a stage 2 is 690tq and another extra $100

going in a dedicated road race car. so no launches. and i only do 2 gear changes per lap. lots of heat and extended WOT though.

thoughts?

Just my Opinion stay away from Spec, I wish I would've spent alittle more and went with something different...

I had a Spec stage 2 before my McLeod twin disk. No comparison. Not a fan of the Spec clutches either

+1 for McLeod Twin...my SPEC 2+ died horribly on the starting line. It was OK 1st season I ran it but IMHO not worth the $ and for me had a short life
