Mcloed's driveability is just like a stock clutch and is nice but thier hub/s on thier disc is made of softer metal than the input shaft. Then with any HP in will round off the hub then round off the input shaft. This has happened to me at least 3 times and the last time I had to get my tranny rebuilt because the splines were completely gone on the input shaft. As for the driveability of the spec clutch I couldn't tell ya because mine only lasted 82 miles before it came apart while driving under 3000 rpm's. But I have a stage 4 maybe the 3 will be differant for you. If you find a clutch that actually works and holds up to what the manufactor says please let me know I'd need/want one just like you do !!!!

Stay away from SPEC 3/4 (same tq rating) with that much rwhp, considering you may be around the same tq or this might happen:

if you have the money, go exedy.
