We run spec clutches every day in our 240s'. For all out drag applications that see limited street use, we do a 5.

Well. My horsepower goals are unknown to me now. As of now i put 370 HP and 490 TQ on a hundred shot. Granted im not spraying all the time but i will need something to hold that power. Will the LT4 cluthc hold that or should i just spend the money and get a better ggripping clutch

Ive got 280 n/a. Only thing im worried about is when im spraying. Almost 400 hp and 500 tq. As far as price wise the centerforce and spec seem to be in the same ballpark

either one is a good pick... i say centerforce because i have one and love it and it will handle 400/500 numbers its your rear end that wont (at least if your gripping)

Iam not sure how much power a stage 2 or 3 is good for. I had Rob at ford speed install the clutch. He said it seemed to be of very good quality. Do you run at sunshine? I think I recognize your car. I have a white ss with black 35th ann. stripes. If its you we have met.
