    I would be that buddy. FWIW, mine is only a stage 3 (not a 3+).

    I have done a lot of research on SPEC's and talked with them on numerous occasions. I will say having 2 different SPEC clutches, that the old style ones were MUCH worse with chatter and issues than the new ones.

    Talking with the tech guys at SPEC, the new ones that came out about 6 months ago are even better and hold even more power without stepping up to some of the more agressive ones (like the 3+ and the 4).

    The new stage 3's will hold 750 RWTQ (thats right, the 3, not the 3+). When my stage 3 (which was not rated at that power level for the version I bought) does go out, I will be replacing it with a new stage 3.

    Simply put, hands down you will not find another clutch that will hold that power level for the price of a SPEC clutch. If you get a new one, and break it in per the criterea of SPEC (500 in town miles with no WOT), then you will find it is an awesome clutch for both the street and track.

    You can always go with a twin disc, but be ready to fork out the big $, and the PITA of driving with it on the street that comes with it.

    I had a spec stage 2 in my 93' notch stang. It had a bit of chatter at first but after it broke in it cleared up.
