what's up with SPEC clutches ?

68 & 00 GT said:

I'm sure a lot of guys are running these -

Mine isn't slipping yet, but it has 70,000 miles on it. I'll be adding a s/c here pretty soon, and I plan to get some drag radials for the track ASAP.

I just assume change my clutch out now. So any pros, and cons on the SPEC clutches ? Which one might I need for my desired ~400 RWHP?

Stage 1 torque capacity is 410ftlbs
Stage 2 torque capacity is 520ftlbs.
Stage 3 torque capacity is 680ftlbs

These were the numbers given for a 96-98. I assume they'll be the same for an 00 just different part number

I've heard of people buying aftermarket high strength cluthes that turned out to be garbage. Are these the real deal ?

Thanks

I personally think that SPEC is having quality issues. I had 3 bad clutches from them in my last car. If I were you I'd buy a different brand. I'll probably buy a McLoed when I replace the one in the stang.
