with 500 rwhp I wouldn't go with anything less than a Spec Stage 3. Most vendors have them for 330-350 bucks. You could also look at centerforce dual friction clutches, ACT clutches, etc. I have the most experience and have researched the Specs the most so info on the other brands is iffy. The Spec stage 3 is a nice clutch with a decently light pedal effort (considering its a performance clutch). They do have a little bit of chatter to them when they're new but that fades as the time wears on.

Coming from most of the Cobra owners I know (thats mostly who I hang out with o what i concept now I have a blower) Spec makes a good clutch as well as DFX who makes the centerforce clutches

i have a spec stage 3 and love it. it's not much stiffer than stock. they also make the stage 3+ which is supposedly even better for daily driving.

Well I'm only looking to be around 420-440 RWHP. Would you guys recommend the stage 2 or 3? (sorry to jack your thread)
