Default Spec stage 2???

I've seen alot about Spec stage 3, but not much on stage 2. I've got only a few mods right now, and dont plan on ever having over 350rwhp on this camaro. Will this clutch be ok for some spirited driving? I'd rather not spend the extra $$$ for the stage 3 since i wont have the power that alot of you guys are running with the stage 3.

and incase you are wondering why i'm not modding it, its bc im in college now, and so once i graduate ill trade it in for a newer one with less miles to start making power.

btw... its a stock clutch at 81,000 miles. Heh, its beat.

thanks, let me know how the replacement goes... I've heard so many mixed feeling on clutches whether it be the z06, ls7, spec, ram, etc... No one clutch brand sounds perfect...

don't get me wrong while it was working it was nice. I think it was just a faulty part. It could happen with any clutch.

I've had a Spec 2 for aroud 40'000 miles, had to have it rebalanced locally, since then it's been flawless. That is with many 4,000 rpm dumps on DR's. I'm putting in a Mcleod scatter shield, and when I do that I'm upgrading to a Spec 5.
