You should be ok going with a stage 1. Stage one is good for 420 ft-lbs while a stage 2 is good for 530 ft-lbs.

I like the Stage 2...

Its a decent clutch and it has a pretty good pedal feel...

weems · December 15th, 2007, 09:01 PM

so what else is needed with it?

Hay I’m in the same boat you are. But with some research I decided to go with the fidanza 3.2 clutch kit but that’s me you might look in to them

what made you want to go with that?

Doc8224 · December 15th, 2007, 09:55 PM

Either one will hold what you are planning to throw at it. I would go with the stage 2 if you are planning on bolt ons some track time. But the stage 1 will be plenty if you go with it. Just kit the whole clutch kit. Should come with pressure plate and disk, get an alignment tool if you don't have one.

weems · December 15th, 2007, 10:00 PM

do you guys suggest any other clutch? or is spec the best?

SWEET2KSTANG · December 15th, 2007, 10:04 PM

i have ran spec and absolutley love it. a stage one will do what most bolt on guys will ever put thru it.

weems · December 15th, 2007, 10:07 PM

i think im gonna go with the stage 2 , might be throwin some juice on her later on down the road..

ChrisJ · December 15th, 2007, 10:09 PM

Stage 2 is goodtimes bro...

weems · December 15th, 2007, 10:11 PM

I have had 0 issues DD my stage 2...There are times like after a 10 hour drive from Virginia to Kentucky that i feel kinda beat but that is it...

SWEET2KSTANG · December 15th, 2007, 10:14 PM

the stage 2 is perfectly fine. i was running a stage 3 in mine, but was way too much clutch for what i had and was breaking shit.
