Which clutch to use?
I went to the track today and found out my clutch couldn't hold my new found power. I just put a p1-sc on and I am trying to figure out which clutch would be best...Either spec stage 2 or stage 3 or a centerforce dual friction. Let me know what ya'll think. If anybody has a spec stage 3..are they real chattery and would it be good for a daily driven street car?

RE: Which clutch to use?
I have a spec stage 3.. and it has very little chatter if any at all.. if you take off to softly it will chatter quite a bit (like when your just barely behind someone in a drive thru, etc), but normal driving I dont notice it at all. Its very grabby... holds all the power I'm putting out fine, and the pedal feel isnt bad at all. My friction point is right at the top of the clutch as well making fast shifts really easy.

I have had my spec for around 5-7k miles now... and it's great. Holds my power well, grabs quickly, and really doesn't chatter much anymore, if it does- it's my fault. However, when it was first installed, it chattered so much I felt like there was an earthquake :-(... It is a real easy clutch to get in there, but engages quick and snaps back hard.... I like it for what it's worth.

On a FI car, spec 3 FTW..
It is a pretty stiff clutch though.
BTW, the king cobra is simply not enough on a FI 2v car making decent power. Its gonna slip sooner or later, and that means taking the LTs out AGAIN
