Default RE: clutch suggestions!!!

ORIGINAL: 562cobra

a lot of guys in here get the spec brand clutch. so i did some research and think that its worth getting. i havent heard anything bad about them. stage 3 is rated at 680 ft/lbs. so its a buy once, buy right.
Im sure this kind of clutch isnt the best for daily driving but how bad is it? i've read in a magazine that those types of clutches dont use springs and it can drive you crazy when you're not on the track. Is this true or just an exaggeration?

just get the 26 spline upgrade. the 10 spline is literally a POS, and i have seen countless 500 hp mustangs shear their 10 spline input shafts. hell, even a month ago at the shop, a whipple 2007 mustang gt sheared his second 10 spline.. now he's upgraded to a gt500kr t-56, so he should be set...

Anyone that says the 26 spline isn't worth getting in these cars is retarded. Sorry, someone had to say it.

The fact is, is that the cars should've come with it. There are countless ones that snap just off of hard launches with a pulley and tune. Spend the extra money now and get the 26 spline input shaft.

I had a Spec 3 w/Fidanza flywheel in my Cobra and it was great... wasn't to hard on the pedal, the only thing that sucked was the break in period - clutch chatter was HORRIBLE at first, but it eventually straightened out in the end.

yep! I know to many Terminators that busted the input shaft with ~400rwhp on launches.. The car never should have come with the 10 spline.

So this 26 spline input shaft, any sites where it can be purchased? and any installation sites?

incase the 10 spline breaks, will the car no longer move? (noobie ?) or can it safely be driven home? [&o]
