spec 3, toast! Been in since FEB! Fragged on dragweek So back in feb, my stock clutch went out on my way to alabama. I had to change it on the fly, luckily spec is in alabama, so I went and got a spec 3 and billet flywheel.....flash foward to last sunday, test and tune for HOTROD dragweek.
Clutch went on my 11.9 pass. I thought I was done before it started. Luckily some damn good friends drove 5 hours from omaha nebraska to cordova with a friends just broke in spec 4.
I guess I was one of those guys that the spec 3 just didnt hold up for. I wont be buying another one thats for damn sure.
On another note, with the spec 4 the pedal feels like stock! It did take me quite a few passes weds to figure out where the clutch grabbed at, I couldnt quite slip it like the spec 3. As far as drivability goes, the 4 isnt that bad at all.
Anyways, **** on spec for having this stage 3 take a **** in under 4k miles, and 1500 of those were on the highway.

I love it SPEC 3 =crap because it is slipped hard out of the hole.
Put SPEC 4 in and drag race the hell out of it first thing with no breakin
Don't be surprised if this one blows early too
SPECS are not made to slip very much.Street driving is the worse than the track because it is slipped the most
Don't worry,I'm just as abussive on my clutches.Slip them to death at 5500rpm on launch BUT I do not expect them to last long. You should see how short of a life alot of those other clutches lasted
