Ran 11.58 at 121 on it. Loads of hot lap street racing, bracket racing, ***** out nitrous passes spraying directly off the line etc. It is an awesome clutch. Still feels just as bad *** as the day I put it in. Based on tap speed I'm puttin 550+ through it and it just laughs at it

keep an eye out for a possible failing throwout bearing. not saying it is gonna happen but just be a little wary. me and a buddy are both running one and his let go one day starting it up. the clutch and pressure plate were fine but the bearing fell apart. maybe it was a freak accident but it happened after about 3k miles. mine has been nothing but phenomonal between daily driving and racing for the $250 i paid.

Console, shifter, drive shaft, MAYBE exhaust pipes depending on what you have, transmission, bell housing, then you are at the clutch. There are writeups available. Its not too awful bad.

There's photos in the link provided above by Rudy...

I have put about 100 miles on it so far, and I am impressed. a little bit of chatter on take-off, but it's not even broken in yet, all in all, it drives like a stock clutch. I consider myself hard on clutches, so if anyone is going to abuse this thing, it will be me.........

Why not 2.5? It will last longer than the organic material and drives great.

I talked to Kyle and explained that my car is mainly a street car that would only the strip maybe once every couple years. Given the power levels, he suggested the Stage 2 brass/organic and cera-metallic dual friction because with the clutch slippage from normal driving, it would be more durable than the Kevlar on one face.

He said that if the car saw more strip use or massive dumps, the Stage 2.5 would be a better choice. He explained to me that when Kevlar sees normal street driving slippage over time, the linings will be come glazed which might affect grip. He seemed very knowledgable and appears to be steering me toward what I want it to do.

I asked him if the stage 2 would hook and book with a 5K RPM clutch dump and he assured me it would.
