Default SPEC stage 3?

I was wondering if anyone was running a spec stage 3? Would you recomend it for a bolt on GT, with nitrous in its near future? PLZ help me out. Gotta get a new clutch ordered. Thanks.

i have one and love it. it's not much stiffer than stock. for a bolton you wouldn't need more than a SPEC 2, but a SPEC 3 is only a few bucks more, so you may as well get it. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I have the 3, and LOVE it! It was a little rough during breakin, but now it's as smooth as my old stocker, and with just little more effort. The pedal isn't near as stiff as I would have guessed. And it will hold 680ft/lbs

Nathan:

It's a really popular clutch, nice upgrade. It does take some break in, but we've never had someone unhappy with theirs!

Let us know if you need one, we can get you a great price!

Thanks,

Lizzie

that's the problem with this forum. a lot of people ASSUME that the SPEC 3 is a really stiff clutch without actually using one. i listened to the majority here, but then the shop i go to told me it's not all that bad, so here i am.
