Default What Clutch to get?

I'm an A4 guy and know very little about the manuals.My budy needs to replace his clutch and would like some suggestions.His Z28 is a daily driver basically stock has some bolt ons and will have full exhaust at some point.He may also put a smaller cam no more than 220/220 in and possible 100 dry shot.As of now nos is out of the question but he would like to be prepared.So what should he replace his stock stuff with?The most cost effictive route would also be best for him.

Try doing a search there has been alot of discussion on this topic. From what he plans on doing I would go with the Spec Stage 3, its the best bang for the buck.

Talking Spec 3

I've had three dual friction Centerforce clutches, all going within 8 months, and the SPEC 3 has been the only one to stand up to the 671 HP that my TA puts out. Had one SPEC clutch last for over 2 years, but started to slip a little, so we did a second SPEC 3 clutch and added the aluminum flywheel, and after a year not a hint of a slip.
Second choice would be the McLeod, but a little top dollar.
With the new Stage 3 with 825 torque, it should do the job. I'm pushing 608, so it has proved itself.
My 2 cents...George
