i wouldnt short your self, get the billet steel.. your message box was full so heres your reply to your pm

"hey i had a local guy install my clutch, im pretty sure the shim was installed. ive only driven around 300 miles on it, getting the car rolling in first gear is sometimes tricky, although it is getting better.. if you start off too low in the rpms you get the chatter, or you can rev it higher to get going.. its kinda tricky, i used to ram adjustable master cylinder, which i highly recommend. this clutch is a beast compared to the stocker.. im sure itll hold up fine with ~420-425 hp NA, i just hope it holds up with the extra 125-180hp on the juice"

stock steel, billet steel, what is the difference? Stock one will do the same thing.

If you're looking for cheap just get your FW resurfaced for 30 bucks at a machine shop and use it. Just as long as its not aluminum, ram states that it must be cast iron or billet steel.
