What are you current and future mods? That will help us best in deciding the best clutch for your application.

I'll be replacing mine in the spring. It's finally started slipping. I fully expected it before now.

I'd like a recommendation for a clutch as well.

Seems to me like the stock clutch can withstand LESS than the stock torque haha. I have just stage 2 and mine's slipping pretty bad sometimes. I don't have a new clutch.. But I will definitely say it's worth the investment.

It all depends on how you drive your car on the stock clutch, I have 85K miles on my stock clutch and almost all of that was with 240hp+

Ive got the GMP stage 2 kit for my balt right now and Ive got no performance mods planned for the car in the near future, just exterior and interior mods. Im not planning any serious track time, maybe a pass or two at the local strip but unfortunately my poor balt spends most its time on an air force base with a top speed limit of 25mph. I go out on the highway probably 4 times a week for about 100 miles total so yea.
