Default which clutch

ok which clutch should i get. I have a Spec stage 2 right now, and it has been an awesome clutch butdidn't last as long as i had hoped, but that was probably my fault for beating the **** of it. So what should i get now, and why. I've got the mods listed in my sig, and am hoping to supercharge soon but all my money right now is probably going to a new clutch, shifter, and tranny.

I'd have to go with Spec Stage 2 or other, I havnt heard too many good things about the middle choices when dealing with a built vehicle. As for other I'm not too sure, I've heard good things about Mcleod clutches.

on a stock orvery mildly built car there is nothing wrong with a king cobra clutch.. i got one... had no problems with it as of yet.(knocks on wood.) but if you have extensive mods or plan on extensive engine mods then i would stay away from the king cobra.

i voted other, specs. are good clutches, i killed a king cobra in about 3000 miles on a STOCK motor, i have about 15000 miles on my centerforce LMC (light metalic clutch) and it looks NEW i can post a pic if you don't believe me, and i beat on the LMC alot more often and alot harder than i did the KC...


so my vote goes for the LMC..... i have also heard realy good things about McLoed (sp)
