Ok I have a question. The spec stage 1 is organic right? Then 2 is a kevlar. But stage 3 can be either carbon or organic? I' m cornfused. I thought that kevlar was stronger than organic but didn't know if kevlar was stronger than carbon.

Scott, ya gonna get a bell housing too...... Of course it'll be infront of a tko.

Jeff, cool I'll check D&D out. -Mark

I believe McLeod is working on an SFI bellhousing for the T-45 as we speak. You could always get a Lakewood SFI bellhousing, part #15230, and switch to a Tremec transmission. Just a thought.

Sorry bitemark46, don't have any used ones right now. I'll post something if I hear about one though. Spec makes a real good clutch. You might want to look into one of those.

Fordman, like mustang23 said, I'm not too sure you want a pro-shifted tranny if you are going to drive the car on the street from time to time. The trannys don't really like being down shifted. You pretty much have to come to a complete stop to get it in gear. Think about that when you see a red light, you start to slow down, and then it suddenly goes green on you.
