Anyone use a spec Stage 4 on the street.
My stage 3 went out after 5000 m and 9 track passes
I am thinking of going with a Spec Stage 4. Does anyone use one on the street?
Can I use my steel flywheel from my stage 3? My car is not a daily driver but is mostly driven on the street for cruising and other fast street activities.

I have a stage 4 and I drive it one the street. Well before i started more work on my car i did. It really isn't THAT bad. You just gotta keep the revs up more from a stop. Running a fairly steep (4.11 and up) gear helps out alot. I went through 3 stage 3s in 4 months. Thats why i went with the stage 4. I have about 8k HARD street driving and i looked at it and it still has 50% material left. Your flywheel will be fine to use. I run a billet one.

Well as George said they are not that bad. I have one in my car that has over 25,000 miles and ALOT of drag strip passes. I use to drive it every day 110 miles to and from work. It was fine even my wife could drive it. It takes some getting use to.

Now George, get that car done so I can tune it!!!

I don't have a stage 4 but I do have a stage 5. If the 4 is any more street friendly than the 5, then the 4 should be fine for the street.

How do you like the stage 5? I am debating going with a stage 5. My disk is almost gone and while the motor is out i am gonna get a new one. Was also thinking about putting in a tilton or quartermaster triple disk. Just don't know if i can make them work with a LT1 t56
