Default What clutch to go with?

I know this question has been asked many times but, i want a clutch that will not chatter or slip i wan it to grab like a ****! And also i dont want to drain my wallet either because there isnt much in there. i was looking at the spec/star clutches stage II. in the future i will be look at probably 430 rwhp. but i also want a clutch that is very streetable & wont slip at the track.

Chatter is caused by aggressive clutch disk. Its not a bad thing, it's expected. I have heard the Centerforces are hit and miss. Some have luck while others have had their trannies destroyed by that clutch. I personally don't like them. SPEC/STAR they have seemed to make their products better but RAM is the way to go. I have a RAM VDS 6130/402 in my SS and it crushes my SPEC stage 3 carbon in my WS6. RAM has the BEST customer service without a doubt.

I have the Spec Stage III with the new X-pad. There was almost zero to no chatter after the install. I'm extrememly happy with it.
