I'm getting my car back on the road after being in storage for a few years. It needs a clutch before I can drive it again.
Here are the stats
1991 Gt
performer heads, performer rpm intake, e-cam, 3.73s, and the usual bolt ons. I also run a stock t5.
Made just a shade under 300hp at the wheels, don't plan any engine modifications.

The car probrably won't be used like it was back in the day. Now its just going to be a fun car for me, plan to hit up the trackmay 4-5 times a year, the rest of the time just a street cruiser. I also run Drag Radials, and plan to keep using my stock fly wheel (resurfaced). The clutch I took out was a LUK, doesn't look too fancy. I used to race on et streets, but I would be very surprised if I bought another pair at this point.

For my new clutch, I think I narrowed it down to the Spec stage 2 or the Ram HDX.

Which is better for my set up?

Truly a Stage 1 SPEC or even a King Cobra would be plenty for that combo.. I can get you a very nice price on either if your interested...

I agree...go with the SPEC.

I have a spec stage 2 and it has never caused any problems for me. I have about the same power as you but plan for more, that's the only reason I went with stage 2.
