Lance,

I just happen to have a spec 2+ clutch sitting on a shelf in my shop. Its practically new. I tried to talk my son out of buying it, lets just say sometimes you can lead the horse to water but cant make him drink it. This clutch uses a very aggressive friction material, a combination of Kevlar and carbon and combines a stiff marcel spring in the hub design. You mention that you want the clutch to give nice daily driving attributes, this thing chatters pretty badly upon initial engagement, it was setup behind a Ls2 w/ls3 heads and every thing new from the flywheel back using the same release bearing you are currently running. Handling the power was not an issue, just driveability is poor, This is the second clutch Ive owned with Kevlar linings and experienced the chatter and sometimes gets worse when the clutch gets hot.

We ended up installing a stock zo6 ls7 clutch in my sons car, holds the power(400+ RW ftlbs) nicely and has awesome street manners. I have had very good luck with centerforce clutches, in your power range I like the dual friction. Probably 15 years ago I used it in my 540 cuin powered 67 Camaro, the car was north of 600 ftlbs running low 10s with a centerforce dual friction and drove like a dream. I really needed a dual disk in that car but the dual friction held up to where it was not rated for.

I currently run a Centerforce DYAD in my ls7 69 Camaro and love it, a tad noisy but great engagement and killer clamping force. Pretty expensive piece.

Clutches truly have there own personality, good luck with your choice- Rich
