StuzVette Rocks again!
the 1 1/2 year old Spec Stage II clutch gave out...
Id like to think I just had tooo much power...
...but at last I think Spec was just not the clutch...
Im sharing this so that others know there is a good alternative...
...Replaced the hydrolics slave and master...
Changed to RPS clutch and Alum flywheel replaced with C-R-G Flywheels...
The clutch pedal is juuuust right and the responsiveness is OUT OF THIS WORLD...Definitely more HP to the rear wheels...
I LOVE STUZVETTE MORE!!!!

Good luck with your new setup
...so you know what Im talking about...
If anyone has compared oem, SPEC, RPS, or others...
..the RPS has got to be on the top of the list...
My pedal isnt at all noticably heavy...
The distance was set up perfectly...
Totally responsive and without a hint of lag...
Mine is RPS Stage 4...
...I saw a Z06 just the other day with 680hp...using this clutch and flywheel...
btw..the flywheel is good for ever...just replace the surface pads...
RPS claims 20 rwhp with the setup!
I believe it...
(I would have told you all earlier but Ive been out cruising )
StuzVette is Back and BAD and Im Glad as ever...
