mr. luos....

yo man, did u get that spec III installed yet? i ordered mine and all of the sudden im reading all this bad shit about them, about the springs flying out of them and poor made in china quality. Now im worried. I know they had a problem with them in the past, i hope i don't have to deal with bullshit with this clutch. Also, i found a shop that is close that does great work, they told me i need to get an adjustable master cylinder and new slave. Everything i read seems to say they are correct. Do u know where i can get a McLeod M.C.? im sure i can call them up and get it direct, but im also sure i'll pay too much that way. Im gonna call summit and see if i can special order it throught them.

Re: mr. luos....

Those rice forums are funny.

I got the Spec Stage 5. I have heard Spec having issues a couple years ago with their clutches, but from what I understand, their new ones are fine.

Be ready for an on/off clutch though. There is no slipping the clutch. You are either engaged or not.

If you are still worried, check out RAM clutches. They seem to be pretty decent clutches from what I have read. Mcleod, Centerforce....they are good as well.

Re: mr. luos....

Before I bought it, I drove a 700+ RWHP Camaro SS that has the Stage 5 in it. Felt very streetable.
Pedal felt stock to be honest.

I asked about it first as well. Couple local guys are running that clutch, and it seems they all say it is streetable. I figured I would try it. I plan on making 500 RWHP or so without a power adder, so I figured a strong clutch was a good idea.

Right now I am at a roadblock. I lost my job recently (April 1st, go figure) and am going to have to focus on making the bills, and not working about the car right now. Hopefully something will come up soon, and allow me to get the car done by later this summer.

Would be fun though. Problem is, I will be very traction impaired. Stock 10 bolt has to hold until this time next year. At the rate I am going, it should.

If I find something soon, I will probably be running her at Cordova in September. Just north of the Quad Cities in Illinois.

Re: mr. luos....

I was born in Clinton, IA. Not 25 miles from Cordova. I still have a TON of family that lives out there, so I figure I can kill two birds with one stone.
Visit family, and run off this mountain.
And yes, you would eat me up, unless I got lucky and somehow hooked without blowing out the rear.

I was going to run it as it is right now last September. I was out there, and the stock tune got PISSED at me, and she started knocking. I made it to Cordova, but not with the WS.6.

My AIM name is 'MrLuos'. Pretty simple. lol
Not always on, but every now and again.....

Picking up chicks....I might win.

But when it comes down to it, I would take your car over mine. I really really dig GN's!
