Do they still make Zima, the last one i saw was the one you had a number of years back. Yea you had your "pinkey" finger elevated when you were drinking it.
Now ... back on target... I want a dual disc how much are they going for from SPEC? I see RAMs is in the 1200 range.

I have great interest in the performance of this clutch. I have been in contact directly with spec and this will be the next clutch I run.

I just pulled my spec 5 which I put through hell... about 25k miles worth of power levels ranging from 700 to 1000 rwhp. and it has never sliped on me once. Upon disassembly I was surprised to find it in perfect condition, very little signs of wear at all. Im gonna run it for a little longer with my new motor to see how much more it will hold LOL

As for the multiple options, I like the fact it is available with an organic disc setup, which should be street friendly and hopefully reliable on the lower hp setups.

We did and it's the best clutches we've ever used

1 car is 860hp/860tq on the street and use to eat 2-3 clutches a year.This clutch has been in there almost 2 years and no problems.

The other car has 800hp/800tq with the same clutch problems because we run 3.42 gears. He drives it everyday and slips the hell out of it.Holds just fine launching at 6500rpm with slicks at the track too.

We run the iron disks and it drives extremely good on the street.Just like a 3+ with very minimul chatter every once in awhile.Holds like a bastard under all conditions.

Nice looking clutch for sure, a bit too pricy for me though. Geting up to the Excidy (sp?) catagory. Id like to hear some non shop info. I know the Specs I have seen and had didnt fare too well. One stage 5 exploded on the dyno and my 3i was done in 5k and considered "normal" by Spec with no races and on street tires.

Sweet!! if i am ever in need of another clutch I may try it out. Hopefully I dont need another one anytime soom, I have a 3+ right now and it seems to be doing just fine. I may wind up putting more than 850ft-lbs through my 3+ so it may not last too long if i start hitting it with big shots.

3+ -only lasted 2k miles on our 700hp/640tq Vette(hard on clutches,slips them alot from starts). Lasts awhile on 500hp cars.

Stage 5 lasted 3k miles on our 840rwhp turbo Camaro.

All comes down to how you drive.I see alot of people complain that they don't last long.You can not slip them alot on the street!!!! Street driving kills them faster than the track.

I've pretty much tested every clutch out there and abused the hell out of them. We sell/recommend SPECs from what I've found

Slowhawk, you have hit the nail on the head with your explanation of the effects of slippage. Whether you buy a stage 1 or a stage 5 the more you slip it the more you wear it. As a side note, I know lots of folks that have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of miles on our clutches without issue. The point being...driver and driving style have a definite effect on the life of a clutch....

Slowhawk

Good point. This weekend we are pulling out a 3x clutch which has 30k miles on it and about 60 1/4 mile passes launching at 5k+rpm at 450rwhp. It's not slipping,just doing a new clutch with a motor.People think the race clutches are made to slip.They are made to hold

SPEC-01

iTrader: (2)

Exactly!

Country Boy

iTrader: (24)

They should be advertised as such, IMHO. I was told I should see ~30k since I was just a H/C car on street tires. I never even got to race it.

So is the organic setup considered a "race clutch"? I am looking in anticipation that I will likely be doing a clutch in the future but need something my wife can drive as well. The organic twin looks like an option, or am I wrong?

SPEC-01

iTrader: (2)

Country, It should be pretty logical that increased slip leads to increased wear...though if you have any issues that you would like to discuss you are welcome to PM me or give me a call. 800-828-4379 x.109. Thanks,

SPEC-01

Vette, The organic Super-Twin is easily drivable. It is a performance clutch but it is not terribly abrupt or agressive. I think that it would be a great option for you and your wife too. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

Props for you on taking the Spec bashing If there was someone like you on these forum about 3 years ago, I would probably have a different opinion. When I called about my issue, the person on the phone acted like I was some joe blow shade tree dumbass and was very short and rude, so I didnt persue it further. My 3I was barely slipped when I drove the car because it chattered too bad. I know you cant slip them like an organic disk and never did I. I had youre whole deal, flywheel, disk and pp. I even replace the TO bearing, slave and master.

As I mentioned before, I don't take this as bashing. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't make posts to play a part in a pissing contest...I do it to help people better understand our product and clutches in general and beyond that to help them understand any issues that they may have. Ultimately an informed customer is better able to understand their needs and issues should any arise. Thanks for recognizing my efforts...Have a great afternoon!
