Default What clutch are you using?

I need something that will support anywhere from 600rwhp-700rwhp. Something with light pedal pressure, I don't like the leg press ram style. I do not want to run a Mccleod master cylinder either. I was thinking a Spec Stage III. What do you guys thinK?

I run a spec stage 4i. stage 4 pressure plate, stage 5 iron unsprung disc.

Its not bad a bit stiffer then stage 3, but it grabs like a ****. Its one of my "anti-theft" devices according to my friends who have drove my car. But then again, I have the mccloud master and a 145 Slave

try the mcloed twin disk, it's pricy and will need an adjustable master but it will hold 1000 hp.
pedal pressure is slightly stiffer than stock , i thought i burst a hydraulic hose when i put mine in after taking the ram clutch out.

SPEC 2/3 Hybrid.

I like the streetability of their Kevlar on the Flywheel w/Ceramic on the PP side.

Should be good for a SC setup, but might not be enough to a Turbo/Nitrous TQ hit.

Just put two stockers in that will give you the correct pressure and grip for that kind of power to the pavement. I would go with a SPEC setup too though in all honesty I like the 2 I have but can't wait to get my 3 in. Intent for my car is 550 hp n/a.

BTW, it would seriously behoove you to use the Mcleod adj. master cylinder.
