The car is my spring/summer daily driver that sometimes visits the track. What would be the best clutch for a TKO500 with a 26 spline input shaft?

A Stage II Spec would be a good choice that would hold up to abuse but still be nice on the street.

Are spec clutches organic? I heard Tremec recommends an organic clutch for their trans. I originally wanted the Centerforce DF, as my friend has one and I love it, but they are metallic. What about a Mcleod disk with a King Cobra pressure plate?

Also, where can I buy a spec clutch if I decide to go that route? Thanks.

SPEC has about 6 different materials available. If you need SPEC I can help you out....

I like the McLeod stuff also I am not a big fan on the KC pressure plate, it slipped in the higher RPM's on my old 302 combo, it didn't have the pressure to hold the power 340RWHP. Walt @ Promotion has some nice clutches for Tremec's as well, and they seem to hold up nice you may want to try him also.

But does Spec make 26-spline input clutch disks? If so, where can I find an organic Spec stg 2 with a 26-spline disk?
