SPEC offers 7 options for these cars.

Stage 1: 948.00Types of Driving: Street, Drag, Drift, Road Race, Rallye, Pulling, Autocross

For bolt on naturally aspirated and mildly modified forced induction engines. Stock-like daily drivability and very good wear characteristics.

Stage 2: 1038.00
Types of Driving: Street, Drag, Pulling, Autocross

For all mild to moderately modified naturally aspirated and power adder engines. (Also good for stock power levels and spririted driving when good daily drivability and extremely long life are the goal.) Stock-like daily drivability and EXCELLENT wear characteristics.

High clamp pressure plate, pure Kevlar friction material and high torque sprung hub and disc assembly, bearing and tool kit.

Stage 2+: 1074.00
Types of Driving: Street, Drag, Road Race, Rallye, Pulling, Autocross

For all modified engines making more torque than the stage 2 can support.

High clamp pressure plate, 4 or 6 puck carbon semi-metallic friction with high torque sprung hub and disc assembly, bearing and tool kit. 6 puck is standard on most applications, but 4 puck can be specified when ordering.

Stage 3+: 1173.00
Types of Driving: Street, Drag, Drift, Road Race, Pulling

For heavily modified street and race engines making more torque than the st3 can support. Offers good daily drivability and better manageability than the stage 3, with even better wear characteristics.

High clamp pressure plate, full-faced carbon metallic friction, high torque sprung hub and disc assembly, bearing and tool kit.


Those are prices and descriptions are direct from SPEC's site. The other options are overkill for these cars, and Stage 2/2+ are more then adequate. When purchasing a clutch the strongest, most complex, is not necessarily the best. If you use your car as a daily driver, with occassional track use, stage 1 is perfect. Serious track duty with street driving as well is better suited for stage 2/2+. Track only duty may benefit from Stage 3/3+.

Fire away with the questions.

which clutch can take 300 to 350 hp?

 

They all can, Stage 2+ would be your best bet for street drving as well though.

 

^ That. Stage 2 is a VERY good solution for almost anything an NA xfire can put down.

I used both Spec Stage 3 and 3+ in my Spirit R/T (Cable clutch). They held over 400hp and 400ftlbs but it was really grabby. Hard to use smoothly in traffic. The Crossfire's hydraulic clutch setup might make it easier, but I really don't think there is any reason to find out.

Thank you TVT!

 

Yeah I just called the place I work, supposedly (at least with mustangs) they are either on or off, and really arent great in the street. But that might just being the higher stages, but we dont even deal with them so I dont know all that much about them (damn I could have gotten a good discount).

 

I doubt any mustang guys are using anything short of Stage 4. That community isn't known for conservative modification.

 

I had a Kevlar Stage III in my modified 6-speed Impala SS and it was a Beast! It didn't even flinch with 4500 lbs of car and 475 ft/lb of TQ at the crank ..., great for launching (when the tires held), VERY difficult in the rain ..., or in that parade one time. I kept doing smokey burnouts for the crowds because my left calf started cramping up trying to feather the stiff clutch.

Great for performance ..., crappy in traffic!

 

I think the stock oem clutch can handle 300hp

 

Not effectively it can't. Go race it a few times with any significant amount of power and you'll be slipping everywhere.

Plus the stock clutch is pretty horrible for a sporty car anyway.

 

Don't sell the OEM clutch short, It's a robust little bugger and lasted more than 40 hard road races over 3 years. I've been running the SPEC Stage 3+ clutch for almost a year now and would recommend it for track use only. For daily drivers I would recommend the Stage 2+.

 

Yeah the stock clutch is great for a 300hp street car, it has a nice smooth transition, and is smooth on the pedal.
Some guys think grippy hard hitting clutch is best for a street car, well I don't think they use the car as a daily driver as most people do!

any kinda race or performance clutch will detract from the cars' ability to be driven smoothly on the streets in conjested stop and go traffic.

 

is there any type of discount we can get on these! or are these prices solid?
