Brother,,, You need to tune us in on what your plans are for the car and how much HP/Tq that you will be putting to the wheels.

IMHO, there are MUCH better clutches for your intended purpose. I looked up the clutch and this is what the DETAILS STATED!

For heavily modified engines or engines of any modification level being used in the above driving environments, where an instantaneous engagement and light weight are beneficial. Not street-friendly due to harsh engagement.

High clamp pressure plate, 3,4 or 6 puck carbon semi-metallic friction with high torque rigid hub and carrier assembly, bearing and tool kit.


NOTE!!!!!

Not street-friendly due to harsh engagement.

A light weight fly wheel and HARSH engagement are NOT pleasant to drive on the street! PERIOD!

I have a SPEC Clutch also but I installed the one listed below. Over kill for my car but it wont die!

Super Twin

The Super Twin is for street and track use in cars with extreme horsepower and torque (700-1500 ft lbs tq). The Super Twin offers near-stock drivability, tremendous life expectancy, a no shimming/setup bolt-in installation and maintenance free operation. With all billet construction, these units are smooth and quiet. The units are rebuild-able by SPEC or the end user and replacement components or rebuild services are always available. The super twin is constructed with aircraft grade aluminum and high carbon billet steel milled to an industry leading .001 inch for perfect balance and actuation. Friction is provided by dampened, full-faced carbon graphite discs. Organic, fiber and full metallic options are available. Flywheel and track-spec hardware are included in each kit. Types of driving: street, drag, drift, road racing, time attack, pulling and rallye.
