Default Spec 3+ vs. Monster 3

which clutch would you guys recommend monster stage 3 or spec stage 3+? Cars guna be making around 775rwhp but only prob around 600rwtq. Also I'm more concerned with street manners as I'm not guna drag the car. Only highway stuff.

From what I've read so far & of late is the Monster/3, has quite a bit
of chatter.
Of course there is a process that one can go through to eliminate this noise/chatter, but that to me doesn't sound like good "street manners"?
With your HP #'s you are doing the right thing by researching before
doing all that labor & spending the bucks for parts.
You might want to ask this question over in the performance section too. They run the big HP #'s over there.
Good luck.

We recommend step up to Spec twin P-Trim.But if your running radial tires and not drag racing at the track the Spec 3+ is fine. Slip tires or slipping clutch.
