I am looking at Summit's online catalog and it doesn't look like they sell Tremec or Spec products. [Confused]

My car is pretty stock and only has minor bolt ons RIGHT NOW. I want to put in the 3550 so I dont have to worry about tranny problems later on down the road when I get into the motor.

How streetable is the stage three clutch?

I went through almost all of the vendors in MM&FF and 5.0 Mag. and it looks like the going rate for a 3550 is $1,200 and another $200 for a Pro 5.0 Shifter. I am also looking at the Steeda quadrant, cable, and firewall adjuster for $110 and deciding weather to go with a Spec Stage Three Clutch or Centerforce Dual Friction, they are both around the $330 range.

I have spec stage 2. I havnt tried any other performance clutches. The stage 2 is great unless you do any city driving. It will not engage when it gets warm. I only have about 3000 miles on mine and i go inro sf quite often. Going threw those steep ass hills with all the stop sighns kills the clutch. Other then that the feel is great..
