Experience with "SPEC" brand clutches? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has anyone had any experience with the Spec line of cluches. I have been looking and am leaning toward the either the stage 2 or stage 2+ single disk. The car will probrably be about 500hp/450tq to the tire N/A with possibly a small bottle (@100 shot) down track. Car is a daily driver so I don't want stupid pedal pressure but a twin disk seems like a little overkill for my application and the price

Here are the specs from thrir website.

STAGE 2
Types of Driving:

Street, Drag, Pulling, Autocross

Features segmented or full faced pure Kevlar disc with steel backing. This lining features excellent drivability like the stage 1, but offers slightly longer life and higher torque capacity. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Best for street, drag, pulling and autocross.

High clamp pressure plate
Pure Kevlar friction material
High torque sprung hub and disc assembly
Bearing and tool kit

or

STAGE 2+
Types of Driving:

Street, Drag, Pulling, Autocross

Features a multi-friction disc in a full faced configuration with carbon semi-metallic on one side and Kevlar on the other. Bridging the gap between stage 2 and stage 3, the 2+ offers drivability and engagement quality characteristic of the stage 2, but with a 15-20% higher torque capacity. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Great for street, drag, autocross, road racing, pulling, rallye and drift.

High clamp pressure plate
Hybrid Kevlar and Carbon-Graphite Friction material
High torque sprung hub and disc assembly
Bearing and tool kit

Stage 2
Product Number: SC662
Torque Capacity: 645
Pricing: $429.00

Stage 2+
Product Number:SC663H
Torque Capacity:715
Pricing:$501.00

Any suggestions?

IMO ZR1 clutch is the way to go and there is no chatter and no noise in neutral as well.. It's the Perfect clutch for the Camaro.
