Default Clutch for FI!!!!

K guys I need to get a clutch and was thinking spec 4 or 5 but I hear so many stories about spec clutch's. Will they hold the power and last? Also do I need a new flywheel or can I just get the stock resurfaced? I don't wanna give my left nut for a clutch setup!

Either do it right or don't do it at all. YOu are going to pay either way. Do the spec 3 or 4. Yes if you can resurface the flywheel, if you can't buy a new one. DOn't be a cheap ***.

I said I was thinking about getting a spec 4 or 5 and wanted to know if I really needed a new flywheel or if I could just resurface the stock one. So where does that make me a cheap ***? All I wanted to know is if it would hold the power? What I won't do is spend 1,500 to 2,000 for a clutch thats where the left nut comes in!

dont have much experience with the 4 or 5, but for silverghost the spec 3i has held up like a champ. He's made a ton of 11 second passes on it drives it on the street regularily.

Edit: And definitly either resurface the flywheel or get a billet one.

I use the 3F. It is the one that replaced the 3I and it is a full disk. Basicly a stage 4 that has great street manners. Better than the stage 3 carbon I use to have.

a friend of mine has the new cartek clutch and has done a ton of mid to high 10 second passes.

the clutch is built for strokers, turbos, superchargers, nitrous, heads and cam with nitrous.

can handle gobs of power.

he has 505 horse to the wheels and doesnt skip a beat.
I am in the process of buying his entire setup and transferring from auto to his manual

Cant wait.

plus I have nitrous 150 wet shot so I am gonna be the guinne pig for the juice on a clutch from cartek it looks like lol
