RAM is what I voted for. You can get the Power Grip HD (Stage IV) or the VDS (Stage V) if you need to hold a lot of power. The McLeod clutches are pretty good also for power and driveability. The amount of time the clutch will last depends most on how you drive the car. I think SPEC is way too hit or miss as far as driveability and power holding go.

SPEC Stage 3 here. Factory '01 hydraulics, no drill mod.

35,000 HARD daily driven miles and a couple hundred passes at the track over the last 2 years. High 10's at the track.

ram rebuilt my 910 after the problems i had(not disengaging,drill mod fixed all that) i'm now using the 980 and it feels like stock and has not failed. i just had my trans rebuilt and the shop said my clutch still looks like new. this is after 5,000 hard miles, pulling the front wheels off the ground(stock wheels not front runners)and spraying it to the 10's. goodluck bro.

i melted my spec 3I clutch, welded it right onto the flywheel. Come to find out they dont make the 6puck design anymore. It's a full faced metallic disk! I told spec about my problem and they are going to upgrade and fix my clutch for me... Downtime sucks, but **** happens right? I'm still keeping SPEC in my graces for being good about fixing it. The 3I only had 800 miles on it btw. I hear good things about Ram and Mcleod. But I kind of agree with everybody else. It's a hit or miss thing with SPEC.
