Default Clutch suggestions

I have done some searches but not gotten what I am looking for so I will ask it here. I am going to be installing a built 402 making roughly low 500 rwhp and it's built to easily take a 250 shot of spray to boot. I will rarely be running spray if ever but regardless I am asking for suggestions from guys who drag race what clutch they liked best or worked best. I was looking at a spec 3 but am curious to see what hands on experience from this forum has to say. Thanks for the input.

Hey Mikey , here is what you need buddy :

Centerforce dual Friction HIGH BOOST FORCED INDUCTION AND/OR 175+ NITROUS Clutch.I would also get one of their billet steel fly wheels as well.

The same clutch is going in my vette which should be in the 500RWHP area in a few weeks . The only difference is I went with the Fidanza aluminum & billet steel fly wheel as I do not do much in the way of drag racing , more into road track so I when with a lighter flywheel for my application.

Call if you need any more info.

Thx
Manny

I just put in a Spec twin and love the feel so far. Pedal feel is almost stock, but grabs when you tell it! I will hopefully test it a little at Spring Mountain this weekend!
