Default What Clutch???

Hey Guys, i know i'm beating a dead horse... i've asked about the exedy hyper single in the past few days but i feel it might be overpriced compared to other out there... in reality i'm looking for the best clutch for the price. I'm shooting for about 600ft/lbs with nitrous so i need a clutch that will hold up.

My budget is about 1200 but would like to keep it under 1k if possible.

If you could please post your experiances with your suggestion i would really appreciate it.

Here is one in Advance

I've had bad experience with RAM. Others complain up and down about the chatter from the SPEC. Only clutches I have yet to heard bad about are the LUK and Exedy.

If the spec can hold up I wouldn't mind a little chatter. chances are i won't be able to hear it over the Cam/lontubes/or stereo.

Were can i find info on LUK clutches

If you don't mind the drive quality and noise of a Spec I would say go with the Spec, if, on the other hand, you want a clutch that can hold up to high hp and retain the niceness of a stock clutch I would say spend the extra bucks and get an Exedy dual disc.
