For starters, do you want a clutch that drives like stock or can you live with one that doesn't like to be slipped?
What mods are you running that require a SPEC stage 5 clutch?

i don't have many mods but i don't want to the clucth over and over again. i want something that won't slip. plus i'm saving all that extra money i'm making this summer and pouring it in to the car. heavy modification over winter. the figure i came up with will be around 6-7,000 i already have some of that. unless somthing comes up again. i hope not. i just saw that the stage 5 had most ft/lbs. just kinda looking for recommendations cause i need to order tom.what i guess i'm looking for is something that will not slip at all but it will be street drove.

I tell people that for street cars that see a lot of stop-n-go traffic, it's best to get a clutch that full faced because those disks can be slipped more for smoother driving.
Puck clutches (the disk looks like a flower) are very grabby and usually chatter when you try and slip them. They typically last only 15K when driven normally on the street. They're not built to last. They're built to hold the power. I drove a 3/S with the RPS MAX 6-puck, and it was tollerable, but I personally wouldn't like it for the type of driving my car sees. b.t.w. When Matt M broke the record, I believe he was still running the RPS 6-puck.
I've heard a couple Minnisota guys say they liked the RPS carbon-carbon for street driving. It's a full face disk made of stonger materials. The clutch is about $2800 though.
I'm running the RPS MAX street disk and this is my personal favorite clutch for what I use my car for. This was the clutch in my car when it ran the 12.3 with a 1.7 60' time.

I like my RPS MAX Street disk and RPS Flywheel combo. I haven't taken it to the track yet, but this combo has seen very low 11s at the track without problem on numerous cars.
As for streetability, I cannot tell the different AT ALL between this clutch and the stock clutch. I seriously doubt anyone could, unless there clutch assist is broken (ahem - a certain member, lol).

thanks for all of your input on this i decided to go with the rps flywheel and the 6 puck since u mentioned that u can't tell the difference between the stock and the street disk. should be here by the 11th first time doing this kind of thing hope all goes good. i can pull the tranny out though already did that once. any comments on how to go about putting th clutch in. i have a good amount of car knowlegde so i don't think it should be to bad. well thanks again to everyone and so u all at the UMG. I will have the white and red car. to poor to paint it know. stupid clutch!!!!
