So far this new clutch is awesome. SPEC's new dual disk setup.Peddle pressure is less than stock and engagement is excellent with no chatter. If it holds the 1000+rwhp we put to it we will definitely be very happy

BTW-don't bother SPEC yet since it isn't released to the public till testing is done

Some pics

 

sweet
how do i get on the list to test one

 

springs on spec clutches are kinda scary. alot of cases of them breaking.

 

You should see how many clutches I've destroyed So far I've blown up or permenently dissabled every clutch out there. SPEC's are the only one's that have taken the abuse I give them On my personal car we expect a clutch to last a max of 4k miles due to my hard driving at the track.This car that is ussing this clutch has a history of destroying clutches too.

I'm thinking that this clutch would be better with full faced material instead of pucks,but we'll see. It drives better than a Mcleod dual disk setup though.

 

you drive a spec 5 on the street???? thats hardcore your my role model!! i had thought about it. I have an exedy twin disc with a light flywheel and that took some learning on how to drive but its HARD on drivetrain stuff.
hmmm a non sprung hub disc on the street

 

Actually we got like 10 customer's that daily drive there Stage 5's on the street It's not as rough as people think.You can drive it in bumper/bumper traffic no problem

 

no ****? hurm cool

wonder how much this new set up will cost


expected release date?

 

Dam I would have thought they would have released it by now since it has been in testing since mid 05 .

 

That's encouraging. I'll be DDing a spec 5 shortly.

 

I do know they have a ton of options for it for the power level you need.

 

Do we have any prelim price ranges?? How much more than a spec 5?

 

would you mind giving us info on the car that this clutch is going in, and when you might possible "test" the clutch

 

Hmm. We buy alot of clutches from them. I should try to pull some strings

 

01 Z28 with a 408ci T88 Turbo Combo.Last time on the dyno it made 820hp/790tq at 14lbs but was running out of fuel pump.That dyno was on the Stage 5 clutch which held just fine.With the second bumper hanging pump we plan on trying 20lbs of boost and push past 1000hp which shouldn't be hard.
The new clutch is in the car already.Feel is like a stock clutch but lighter peddle. This one will be pulled and we will have the clamping pressure raised for more holding power. Takes me about 2.5 hours to do a clutch swap on this car.

 

SPEC STG 5 here in a daily driver, great clutch no problems, wife even drives it and she is only 5' with short little legs. Stop and go traffic to boot.

 

What is ths wear on one of these clutches. For a person who actually DRIVES their car? Driven like it should be on the street and taken to the track on the weekends?

 

Probly last a year.The customer's that really abuse them just replace them every spring.

 

spec stage 5 here 2 that is a daily driver zero problems. i was worried at first but not nuch differrent than the stage 3 i had before other than stiffer peddle

 

i'll be getting a spec 5 here shortly, can't wait

 

That is one beefy looking clutch. Probably a stupid question, but what is the engagement like on it? I'm assuming an on/off thing.
