I had a Stage 5 Spec and driving it on the street killed it after about 5 months. I now have the Stage 4 Ceramic, same as MightyMouse, and it feels very nice and grippy but slips just enough to drive it on the street. So far I like it.

Thats what I am figuring the problem was. Slipping it on the street killed it. I was told by SPec that it could cause a problem.

Does the Street twin come with different choices of disk materials? Think it would be a good choice for heads, cam, nitrous? Mostly just a weekend warrior with occasional track use. Or would I be better off with a VDS with the 900 disks?

I was thinking the same thing. I have not heard one problem with the twin either.

I personally like SPEC's the best.You will hear more problems about them because they are the most used clutch on LS1's.Still might be only a 2% failure rate I've had only 1 fail because the owner thought since it was a race clutch he could slip it at 4000rpm from every stoplight.

I will never install another Mcleod in a car.Did 5 of them and all had problems.2 slipped after 6k miles and 2 blew up with under 2k miles.(disk material turn into cotton in the bellhousing)There customer serviced absolutely sucked too.

You won't hear much about Exidy yet since they are still new and not too many people run them yet.I've heard of 2 blowing so far.
