Hi everybody.

Wich cluch will you recomend for 400 sbc- forged, Dart pro 1 , Lt1 intake, 230/236 roller cam 11.5:1 CR. fidanza alu FW
I had a Spec stage 2 till last saturday, but it is completelly gone. Did 6000 miles on it than i did some donuts, than a hard lunch and.......was gone with the wind.... I need a clutch that will last a bit longer espetially that i will shot 150 NO2 now. I heard Spec stage 3 are hard to operate for normal diving.

Have you pulled the SPEC to determine why it failed?

You need to determine why your clutch failed after 6000 miles before you replace it with another clutch.

Break in time is vital with a new clutch. Learned this the hard and expensive way years ago. I always thought Spec was good stuff. I'm currently running the Centerforce going on 5 yrs. So far no issues.
