If you are talking about 500 crank HP (about 425 rwhp), then the SPEC Stage II will work fine. I've been running one for 2 years, clamps hard, easy pedal, no chatter. If you are talking about 500 rwhp, SPEC makes a stage II/III combo for that power level. Others have reported continual chatter with the full stage III. :cheers:
