Corey I do like there Stage 3 clutch disc but I have never used there Hat sorry Pressure Plate. The disc I have used was the one by RAM that had the pucks on both sides with the sprung hub and the RAM Roller Assist Pressure plate. I will say this though. On such a clutch you do not set them with checking free play of the clutch you do so with an air guage or a feeler guage between the disc and the pressure plate. I found this type of clutch plate the only one to stand up to heavy use without exploding. I feel you will like the clutch as this type of clutch disc needs less PSI to have good holding power. But also be aware this type of disc will not give you smooth release of the clutch. The clutch will either be in or out as they do not slip much at all but the sprung hub will help to smooth it out just a tad and help with chatter. Another good thing with such a disc is that when and if you wear the pucks down you can simply take it to your local clutch place and have them put new pucks on it for a very low price. The RAM is the Model
6000 Series Metallic six puck. It might not hurt to see what they offer as well. Happy Leg Press lol.

Corey, I do not have a Spec in my 71, but I do in the Z06. I put a spec stage 3 in the z06 and it is a great clutch. I drive the car everyday and it grips like nothing before. The car gets up quick and I have found I often have to wait at the lights for cars in front of me to pull away. For my 71 I went with a Hays street strip and it is a nice clutch as well.
