The torque capacity of the stage 2 is 530 lb/ft (net not rwhp). Since you are making almost 600 at the flywheel you are exceeding it's holding capacity. You should be using a spec3. Don't blame the clutch becuase you bought the wrong one.
The difference is the price and the power holding capacity. If i remember correctly my clutch was good to 700-800hp and the twin disk holds a 1000 plus but cost nearly double. I like my clutch because it has kevlar pucks on the flywheel side and an organic material on the pressure plate side making it streetable.
what kind of power are you putting down?
i have 553/638 and run the stage III and when i broke my input shaft in half the clutch was wearing very nicely, and is still going strong. actually propelled me to a 11.07@128 this past weekend. are you sure you just didnt have to much power for the clutch at the track?

OK don't get it. But if you have a chattering clutch and pulsating clutch pedal is either a bad TOB-retainer or a bad flywheel (poor resurfacing) and you will have clutches die left and right. Some clutches chatter from the design but I wouldn't expect the SPEC 2? If you are too cheap to do it right you'll have to be rich enough to do it wrong, over and over.
:bash:
Steel will work but you have some other issues you may contend with. Something about increased rotational mass blah blah blah....Plus it may affect the how fast or slow your engine can turn the flywheel.
I'd didn't imply there are better ones just your current one may not be in any shape to salvage and the additional expense will likely save money down the road. Short cuts are cool till you take the wrong one!

Also wondering.
Is you dual friction clutch the twin plate design or is it like my clutch with the kevlar on one side and the organic material on the other but a single disk.
Im using the CFDF clutch. Its very streetable and Ive not had any problems with it.
Did you pick up the clutch or did your shop install it fit you?? Because i payed about the same from promotion so we probably have the same clutch
Do all of y'all run at the drag strip? That is the holding up I want to know about!!
TTT I need track info.. anyone?
Could you use spec aluminum flywheel with CF clutch?
