I have a SPEC II. It grabs much better than the oem z06 I have had. You must drive it differently than the oem clutch, in that you can not "slip it" or "ride it" as much as the oem clutch. You will get a little chatter until you master the correct amount of rpm/clutch release.

I agree with this. I only have the stage I but the same info applies. It grips so much better than stock there is no real slip its bite or not, but once you get used to it you will love it.
I'm on my second stage I and I'll buy another in 70,000 miles when this one dies

I have had both a SPEC 3 and an LS7 clutch. The LS7 clutch will behave just like the stock clutch with very smooth engagement and it will last longer. The SPEC 3 clutch will handle a little more power and is lighter but it is not as smooth of an engagement and will wear out much quicker. Either one will handle 450 RWHP just fine.

This thread boggles my mind... I hear you guys saying the Spec is great... but it seems 75% of the time people are trashing Spec clutches...
I personally have heard too many horror stories to go with a Spec clutch... I've been through 5 clutches on my car and it finally hit me... "You get what you pay for"
I recommend just biting the bullet and forking out more for one of the nicer clutches, otherwise you will be spending the same amount if not more switching clutches in and out in a short period of time...
