This has probably been asked before, but what is a good combo for a daily driven (5% roadcourse car) with say...462rwhp/490rwhtq? Do you guys run a tremec with a dual centerforce or something...or do you stick with a more clingly clutch that sends the beating to the transmission more?

I was thinking soft clutch...if it blows, but saves the tranny...what is the specs for a tremec..how much of a torque rating does it have?

Thanks for any info...

I asked around forever for a clutch recommendation for a 300 rwhp 5 liter with an extra 150 from N20 launched on slicks, was told spec-stage III and it's worked fine behind a 250 rwhp 5 liter till now. Kinda on/off ish at first but once broken in it's great. Pedal effort like stock, it's never slipped on me, only tried the 100 shot so far.
this is with a t-3550

spec stage II might be adequate for you if you never use slicks, it takes a little extra to not slip with slicks.
