Default Need help with clutch selection.

I'm looking at this one right now.

http://www.lmperformance.com/15459/4.html

The car will have a supercharged 402, level 7 rpm transmission, stage 4 differential and all the other goodies rpm offers. Just wondering if this clutch is enough for what I need. Some track use but mainly street. I also need help with a flywheel selection.
Thank you guys in advance

honestly, when i was looking around a couple months back for clutches. i was going to go with a spec. i did a ton of searching and found a lot of guys that didnt like em. i also found one hear and there of how much the owner liked them.

i did find more bad than good fwiw.

on the other hand i was looking to stay in a single disk set up and i ended up buying a monster.

i havent had a lot of experience with dual disks as that is the way i assume you are looking to go. i know there is alot of guys on here running them and i cant recall anyone thats bragging about a spec...

hope this helps.

Every clutch manufacturer has had failures, so I'd base my decision on the ultimate outcome of those failures.

In your situation, I wouldn't let price being a major determining factor. If you have a failure, the cost (or effort) to R&I it far exceeds the few hundred bucks you might have saved. It's a good idea to drive a car that has the clutch you're considering. Even if it's just in a parking lot.
