Need recommendation for 300-450whp clutch I looked through the threads and when i try to search it always times out but what clutch would be a good stock replacement that will still handle up to 450rwhp (I'm going to do heads/cam soon hopefully)?
I'd like to keep it streetable without a lot of chatter or lurching in traffic but still be able to hold the power. The car has 82K miles with the stock clutch so it isn't going to last much longer.
I've been considering: Centerforce dual friction, Spec 3 (don't know much about spec but a lot of people seem to like them), LS7, any others?
Are the RAM clutches any good? My workplace may still be a Ram dealer so I could get one for cost if they are decent.
Thanks for any help

i would go with a textralia oz700. byunspeed has them for a good price. they are nice and heard a lot of good things. spec 3's are nice but i see more of them go bad then textralias.

I checked out those Textralias and they are sweet but they are pretty spendy (I think it was $1100 on their website)! Would the LS7 be a good choice? I looked up the clutch and PP and they'd run me $285 and I think you need to run a LS2/LS7 flywheel which is about $80. I'll do a few runs in the 1/4 but it'll mostly be a fast street car with handling as a goal.
We had a McLeod in the '69 camaro but it was pricey.
