I have a spec 3+ clutch. Its pretty stiff, so stiff that you have to pick the correct shoes to wear lol...no flip flops. But i havent had any problems out of it and its made to handle a lot of torque/hp.

A stock cobra clutch aint bad if you don't go to the track. I had mine on 21 psi with e85 (650-700rwhp) for over a 1000 miles and when I pulled it the clutch wasn't in bad shape. It worked great for playing on the street.

I have a Centerforce Dyad in my car and love it. It was harsh when it was first being broke in but it keeps getting better all the time. I have almost 800 miles on mine now and its almost perfect. It takes just a little bit of feathering the pedal to get a smooth start up but every drive it gets better. It holds 1330ft/lbs of torque, so it'll do any job lol.

I had a spec3 plus, very simple clutch and really did its job. Another up side to it; You can skip leg day.

I have an RXT now. Very light peddle feel. Little mods needed to make it work over straight stock. Another down side; wife can drive the car. ;)

A lot of what you're looking for in a clutch, generally speaking, will have to do with how you plan on using it and what characteristics you want from it. We have a chart for that on our website, but for the most part, a high-powered street car that will get some drag strip time is best off with a Dual Friction or DYAD clutch, since both have excellent holding capacity without making them a chore to drive between stop lights in traffic.
