How are you guessing 550-600 on the torque. The car is only rated at 305hp and 320 torque? Your getting almost 230 lb from a 15-175 shot? That doesnt seem right. But I am no nitrous expert

Why because you have one? They are no the best choice for an application that will make the kind torque a 150+ shot of nitrous does. I reccomend the McCloud clutch but they are pretty exspensive, BUT you get what you pay in most cases. RAM has some good choices as well and I have had had good luck with both.

Regardless of what they say, its not gonna be a really streetable clutch either. I liked my entry level mcleod, but there is no way I am gonna pay a grand for a freaking clutch!
Spec FTW. Sounds like a stage 2 would be about perfect for ya

Yes sorry I was not sure on the spelling. The car I drove that had one was not bad, really no worse than the SPEC 3 I had at the time. IMO a clutch is a like a torque converter, if you want a good one it is going to cost you.

The 2v will not make more torque than the stage 3s are rated at, and there are better ways to spend a grand than a clutch.
Put it this way, there is no advantage to having the street twin over a stage 3 clutch from almost any manufactuer on this guys car, or anyone else in 2v 4.6 for that matter.

My TQ #'s came form Brenspeed when they custom dyno tuned me a special SCT for the amount of N2O that I'll be using. I've did a lil home work and the spec Stage 3 says to be rated at 680 fl lbs ? Will I need stronger if I go for more bolt ons, Check out my list of mods on cardomain@

I assume your running a forged assembly? The stocker isn't gonna work with 600+ ft/lbs.
I have a hard time seeing you making that anyway though.
The rating of the stage 3 is fairly conservative. I doubt you will slip the clutch, but I could be wrong I guess.
