shitty…he should look at a solid iron spec 5 and stop fuckin around… its worked like a cupcake for me, and its not as expensive as the fancy twin plate clutches. im not sure if they make em for evo’s tho edit: they are rated at 1200 tq, and u can beat the hell outa it, its still gona hold ---

> [@POOPRA](#): > > sucks for emery, does tilton make a clutch for evos, I know there expensive but you probably wouldnt have to change it once a month. They do. The tilton requires planned maintenance so it doens’t make as much sense for streetability. The good part is you can plan for it rather than going to an event and not being able to compete and wasting tons of time and money in the process. It’s a tossup. ---

> [@Inn-Tune](#): > > Yup he finally decided to pull some crap out and make the most of the one pass he would get before getting kicked out. He took the wing off, back seat, and passenger seat. He ran the 1/8th twice to get a couple practice launches in on the new clutch and so we could check the tune out. Then he went for a full pass and the clutch broke again and locked engaged so the 11.1 at 131 mph on the old slipping clutch from the last shootout is still the best time in that car. Needless to say we’re all really frustrated with this clutch situation. > > -Mike whats the rule on roll cage? is it still 11.499 and lower needs a cage and other stuff? ---

Yeah, your front half is 6 MPH faster then me, but yoru backhalf is only 1 MPH improvement. If you string that gear out longer, you’ll be way frekin faster. 97 is moving in the 1/8th! –mark ---

[http://www.specclutch.com/](http://www.specclutch.com/) they make it for evos. spec 5 is rated at 675 tq on the evo. they say its for the strip only, but spec goes way OVERBOARD on the drivability descriptions. TONS of guys use it on the street. mine squeeled for a couple hundred miles, but now its fine. grabs like a mofo. ---

i used spec stage 4 on my old deuce and it gripped fine but i opted to upgrade to a tilton…much more expensive, but well worth it. plus the fact that tilton will rebuild the clutch for you EVERY YEAR for about a hundred bucks is outstanding… ---

Jeeves learn how to drive stick on his brand new 4+ (advertised as a strip only clutch) in a matter of hrs. i have the spec 5 (adveritised as EXTREME strip only applications, and the car drives rather easy in stop and go.) just my input. ive also driven badazz’s mcloed twin disk. very nice and easy to drive, and holds alot. nice clutch, no doubt. worth the extra money?, not imo. muscle50s clutch, what ever that one is, my leg muscles doubled in size after pushing that one in :lol: ---

I had the same discussion with Freek when he was here. Spec seems to be a great name for domestics, but not so much for sport compact/imports. We have had nothing but terrible experiences with Spec clutches (always customer provided.) ---
