If you plan to run more power in the future, I would try the McCloud Twin Disk. The clutch pedalis actually a tad lighter than stock and can support up to 900HP/TQ. It hooks up great and is extremely smooth, No chattering at all!. The downside is it runs about $750 if my memory serves correctly. I used to have a Zoom Stage 2 Clutch, It way to heavy and chatered like nothing else. So I wouldn't recomend that one.

+1.. I have an RPS and it's much heavier than stock. Not alot of feathering it's more on/off.

Where have you heard that?


There have been a few reported issues with the Spec 2+s that haven been installed.

The Spec 3+ (I had one installed about 2 months ago) have been bullet proof (from what I read in my research before my purchase). so far I like mine. After about 400 miles or so it broke in very nicely. pedal effort about stock and very smooth. there is a bit of chatter in the very low RPM ranges in the higher grears. Its very grabby @ first however it was easy for me to get used to it and now works great.
