Default Mcleod Or Ram Or Spec

I have been going in circles with this one I have a 2000 ws6 with the following mods LTS,MAF,LID,F-13 CAM,PORTED OIL PUMP. I need advice on the best clutch for daily driver and track time and also that can hold the power, also I am going with a 100 wet shot (TNT). Any help would be greatful my basic ideas are RAM HD, MCLEOD, SPEC 3 and of course a flywheel. still learning.

I just ordered a new Spec 3 and was told that would be the best if I was going to spray. I also had to order a new billet steel flywheel since the stock won't be able to hold the pressure of the stage 3. I've had a few people tell me to stick with the Mcleod or Spec.

I think that as long as your hp doesnt go over 600hp its good, I have the mcleod and I like it but I got it used and just send it in to get new shims...

Don't get any mcloed clutch!!!! Unless you like to keep paying for something over and over again.I've had nothing but problems with them and at $260 plus S/H for rebuilt every couple months it isn't worth it.Not to mention the down time of your car. But I can say that they do operate nicely on the street and track before they tear apart something. As for spec , I just bought one and recieved it friday and today I had to send it back because the rivots on the hub came out. So I dont know what to tell you. Try ram its the only one so far I haven't had any problems with and thats because I haven't bought one yet. Hope you have better luck than me any way you go.

I tired two SPEC 3 Carbon/Carbon and One Mcloed. Two SPEC's lasted 1000 miles each with around 390rwhp on a 3800lbs car. I would go with Mcloed over SPEC 3 any day, but if u are planning to make over 500rwhp then i would look for another clutch since the Mcloed is slipping now with 550rwhp on a 3900lbs car.
Now im thinking about SPEC 4 Ceramic or the Textrilla.
