I'm curious though, if you're not going to boost that 420A of yours, why do you want a clutch designed for triple or even quadruple the power output of your car?
EDIT: It just dawned on me why you might have taken interest in that particular clutch. I found it peculiar, myself being a SPEC Stage 2+ owner (good for 415+ ft.lbs of trq.), but it stands to reason that not all Spec 3+ clutches hold the same power, or even close. I would guess that SPEC, like many companies, lay out a product line for each individual application in such a way that uses the same terminology for "stages" such as the "Stage 3+" but they may have dramatically different, and proportionally appropriate holding capacities.
i.e.
The 4g63t might have 3 clutches available from company A that range from 240ft.lbs, 350ft.lbs and 450ft.lbs of trq. capacity.
The 420A might have 3 clutches available from company A that range from 150ft.lbs, 200ft.lbs and 300ft.lbs of trq. capacity.
However, the nomenclature remains the same for each "stage" while the application changes - determining the holding capacity of that particular clutch.
I hope that makes sense. This idea was kind of difficult to type out.
btw, nice build on that 420A. What are your goals?

Thanks and your 100% right on everything you said. My goals are small nothing big... just to be the fastest non turbo eclipse with the aid of nitrous. I know some consider it cheating but I put turbo's in the same boat as nitrous. Technology at work in a nut shell. I"m looking at a 2 stage nitrous setup equaling up to about 400whp whatever it takes to make that is what i'll spray.
By the way a spec stage 3+ holds 475ft/lbs trq. I could probably get away with a stage 3 but a stage 3 is a sprung 6 puck a stage 3+ even though a lot more money something like 120 bucs is a street disk that's sprung making it more streetable and this car will be dd
