Are y'all running the 4F on the street? Is it too big a pain to run in a daily driver?

I was told by SPEC that there is no drivability difference between the 4F and the stage 5........ I was told they will both take the same power and the satge 5 is $50 cheaper.......... anyone had both the 4F and the stage 5 and be able to tell us how true this is?????

I like the 4F on the street better than the 3.

Never driven a 5. Can't say what the difference is. I think the 5 PP is different.

Ive installed a few Spec 5s.. Only complaint with them is they tend to squeek for a while. Sounds like a lil pig is under the car when you take off from redlights etc etc.... Some of em broke in and the noise went away.... Some didnt....The 4 is a better alternative if its not strictly a drag car. On that note..... The Spec 5 did rip two driveshafts in half on 26 ET STREETS.... It definately grabs HARD.

Damn Ron that wicked...... so would you say go with a stage 4 with the F option to hold the power i am trying to make..... (Shooting for 800rwhp) or just go with a stage 5....... it will see some track use but not all the time..... it will be a street car and mostly daily driven.

Ron is right. It does squeek. It can get kind of annoying in stop and go traffic. Many look over at you because they think your shiznit is broke, but you know otherwise. Once you get going she shifts like stock.
