Default spec stage 2 clutch

Anyone running this setup? I am looking for a very streetable setup to be used for DD,HPDE's and autox. Seems like this would be the ideal clutch. Says it holds 530TQ. Should be perfect for an LS6 car. The most I am ever looking to make out of this car would be 450rwhp. Thats also way way down the road. Right now I just need something that will hold up to OT abuse. Thanks guys.

P.S. I am not looking to spend $800+ on a clutch kit. The spec at $389 sounds pretty tempting.

I am running the Stage III + and loving it holds great and no problems in dd driving! SO the Stage II should do the same!

I just put in a Spec Stage 2+. I believe the Stage 2 is a puck design, which I have heard is good for the track, and sucks on the street. I haven't broken it in yet, so I can't attest to it's quality, but my tuner says he puts in on tons of LS1's. I have 410whp, and plan to possibly do a 100 shot, and the Spec 2+ should hold that much torque. I think they are good to 600 crank torque.

So far, the only commentary I have on it is the pedal is stiffer, but it's not terrible. I got used to it very quickly. Even though the new flywheel was balanced, it is chattering in 1st gear below 1,200rpm, but from what I have read, that is typical, and it goes away with some miles. In a couple hundred more miles, I'll really start beating on it to see how it holds under fast, high rpm shifts...

Let me know what you think about the stage 2+ once it's broken in. Thats sounds like a good option.
