Default SPEC 5 opinions???

I was debating over the Spec 3+ and Spec 5, after talking with Matt at Spec today I'm pretty sure I want to go with the stage 5. This car is not a true daily driver, nor is it strictly for the track. Anyone got any input?

I am running a STG 5. Has been a great clutch, not only for a daily driver but on the track as well. This thing grabs and holds great! Even has a easy pedal feel compared to the stg2 and not much worse than the stock. Engaugment height is in a good spot as well.
Would be a good compliment to your other drive train mods. And still leave you plenty to grow on.

Somewhere around 420-430 rwhp. I am interested in the new L92 block which is 6.2L with the 3.622 crank and 418 with a 4.00 crank, so I'm looking down the road with my clutch choice. So many times in my mod history I've just gone to the next level when I could have gone up a couple of levels and saved money if that makes any sense. Like I'm on my 4th cam and it's still too small. Hind sight is 20/20.

Stage 5 here. It has been handling the power fine. I really want to feel this clutch in action at the track though (too lazy to go lol).
