    Is 3+ and actual stage or do you just mean stage 3 and above. The ldc will eliminate all of the chatter or most of it

    Yes it is a Stage3+.

    The spring will not eliminate chatter it will get rid of the dead feeling in the pedal and keep the throwout bearing off of the pressure plate fingers.

    Do you have a firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant?

    No niether, my setup at this moment is stock, but its going soon i can hear the throwout bearing. If a new clutch chatters alot wouldnt that normally mean it bad. I thought they did that when they are ready to go. What about the stage below you setup burntire.

    Heavy duty clutches chatter due to the clutch disc material and grabby characteristics. Basically the chatter tells you the material wants to grab and not slip. That is good for a high horsepower car. You want the clutch to hold. The chatter is not that bad. Make a little adjustment to your driving habits and it will not be an issue.

    I recommend the Fiore firewall adjuster and a Steeda Quick Release Quadrant.

    Not sure? I have never done one before. I possibly have a good hook up through a shop though. I'll let you know, I plan to have this done pretty soon.

    I love my RAM too! Good info out there. I would definitely recommend firewall adjuster and quadrant as well. Get everything all at once and save yourself the headache. Aftermarket clutch cables suck though! Had one pretty much snap on me. Stock is the strongest for some reason.

    Ok, so what's the power level that the stock clutch becomes inconsistent. My car is still at near stock power. No signs of slippage, on the street.
    '03 Cobra - Mildly modded. A work in progress. 12.566 @ 110.755, 1.89 60' on street tires
    '93 Notch - Looks faster than it is.
    '72 F100 4x4 - Dormant, for now.
    Race '99 L - 12.40 @ 110

    I ran 11.8 @ 119 on the stock clutch. That was around 470 RWHP.

    It started to slip the moment the whipple went on.
