Default Which clutch to use.

whats up guys i have a 04z06 that is a DD in good weather..i have intake,exhaust and a 150 shot...i drag race the car frequently as well..I'm looking for a clutch thats good at the drag track and also that i can DD on...

Right now im looking at the Spec Stage 2 and the Monster level 3..ive heard that the spec doesnt last long..Im kinda steering away from the monster level 3 because of the 6 puck design..i heard the design is not Slip friendly..I don't wanna have to do 4k launches dumping the clutch and risk breaking something... I want to be able to slip it and still get a good 60 foot..

My car is sitting on M/T ET street radials....I don't have the coin at the moment to get a twin disk..

any tips suggestions feedback would be great!

I'd look at the spec stage 3 if you'll be hitting that 150 shot. That should last and be able to hold anything you throw at it. If you have any interest we can cut you a forum discount.

I had Spec 3+ and the chatter was horrible even after 1500 miles. Swapped it for an ECS Mantic Single ER2. Its literally exactly, if not smoother than a stock clutch. No chatter, no noise, smooth engagement and you can drag race it!

I would do the monster level 3, I think you will still see the 60ft times if not better with the monster clutch!!! We have guys running insane times on these monster clutches and driving them home. The Monster level 3 will feel like the factory clutch with about 8% firmer pedal.

i heard the level 3 is a on/off switch ..and is not very slip friendly.my rear end isn't built and i dont want to end up breaking something..i'm going to be putting on a ECS trans brace as well but that doesn't save output shafts lol..i may end up just going with a mcloed RST twin disk..
