my 3+ is going in this week.... I spoke to Spec they suggested the 3+ due to the weight of the car... 4000lbs with driver!

ive used spec 3+ for almost a year now and I must say the first week I absoloutely hated it, felt nothing like the stock clutch to me really. After getting used to it though, I love it and don't really care for the stock clutch when I tried my friends recently. That first week though I drove it 500 miles out of town and that first day I left I was for sure going to put it back in the shop when I returned and try something else. By the end of the trip I liked it! Its really hard to ease the clutch out at all, its like at the last second it just kind of let's go and your in gear.

I have the spec 2. So far, not a big fan. It grabs like crazy, but it chatters at low rpms in 3rd and 4th gear. Spec told me it would go away after about 1000 miles, and I've only had it in for about 500 miles, but it has gotten better. I'm not gonna yank it until I have at least 1000 miles on it, but if the chatter doesn't disappear, I'll be going with a McLeod.

the noise definately dissapears. I have over 10k miles on my spec 3+ now and it makes no noise like it did that pre 1k mile setup.

I bought an RPS set up, clutch/flywheel/pressure plate rated 600 lbs. No complaints.

Flywheels is rebuildable and certain sections can be replaced it it gets damaged.

I had a centerforce in my last car.. and it drove and felt like stock. The only difference is.. well .. it didn't slip.

I voted for the spec but the stage 3+ is rated for 850ft lb's of torque unless your blown with a built moter and nitrous its really not nessicary to get a stage 3+, i think the stage 2+ is fine its rated to 669ft lb's.
