Default Anyone using the Spec Stage 3i yet?

Anyone have it..how's it holding up for you?

What flywheel are you using?

Haven't heard anything about that billet pressure plate option...advantages, disadvantages??

I wonder if the "i" upgrade to the stage 4 would make it more streetable like the stage 3 or if it just makes it handle more power..anyone know?

I really need to pick my setup carefully this time..car makes good power and I launch it pratically off the rev limiter on a slick and don't want to be going through a clutch a season..

any info/opinions would be appreciated..thanks

Yeah I've got the 3I, only about 500 miles on it. I've never driven a 4 but from what I've heard about the 4 the 3I is more drivable. First gear on the street the clutch chatters like a motherf***er, even after you get used to it. At high RPM's it shifts beautifully and grabs hard. I got the Spec billet steel flywheel as well.

This is the clutch that Paul from Thunder recommended to me.

Im fixing to order it

I was told from Spec that it will hold 800+ RWTQ and you can also get a lightweight aluminum pressure plate now that is rebuildable
