    I also ran the Stage 3+ and liked it alot.
    I think I could smell it slipping on my last ever 5 spd pass though.

    Do it yourself, it's not that difficult.

    I just ordered a Zoom ZVT clutch today through Ethan at Stage 3. I will say that I loved the way my CF Dual Friction clutch felt/drove, but it just won't hold the power. If you plan on going twin screw and hitting ~600 rwhp you may want to look into something else. Many have good luck with the Spec 3+ I just wanted to give the Zoom a try since i've heard good things about it, it's a very reasonably priced clutch too. I'd look into a 26 spline input shaft as well, the LDC freeplay kit and a head cooling mod wouldn't be a bad addition either.

    A few have said good things about the McLeod cltuches, their products are usually top notch. I had a guy at AMP performance recommend their twin disc, he said it was only like $650 or $700 which seems really cheep, anyone heard of a twin disc for that little? I don't think they exist, and especially not from McLeod.

    The stock clutch is just fine. I have a 150 shot, Full exhaust, throttle body, intake and a 101 octane tune and 12 psi in my 03 cobra. I dump the clutch at 4000 rpm and have 42000 miles on it and no problem. I hate most of these racing clutches that make the car miserable to drive and breaks input shafts. There's no guarantee a 1200 $ clutch will even hold up. Just my opinion.
