i had a stahe 4 for a year and a half. worked great, just swapped to the stage 5 to give it a try. i'd sell my old one but i'd recommend getting it "rebuilt" (reface the PP and disk as i used to have to slip it out on 3.42's)

BTW- how bout we make your house the pitstop for us guys that will be traveling along way to get to norwalk if we break haha

I've got a stage 5. it squealed bad for the first few hundred miles. not its not so bad. if you release the clutch right, you can usually keep it from doing it. there is a fine line there. my 3i couldn't hold 500-550rwhp for ****. the spec V is still doing pretty well, although the pedal will ocassionaly stick to the floor. started doing that after about 40 passes.

heck even my Spec III squeals, but its treated me right. Its handled 438 rwhp and 512 ft/lbs with 5K clutch dumps on stickies. Just added patriot heads/cheatr and am stepping up the n20 shot so I see a spec V in my near future.....

That's exactly how my stage IV worked. It would squeel a good bit when taking off on an incline (parking lots that are inclined back to roadways) or backing into a parking spot .
