Andrew: I thought you were getting a Spec stage 2 clutch (remember you post) but anyways....
How much can the stock clutch take before it starts slipping/screwing up?

I was looking at Spec, but their stage 3 is way to harsh for street by the reviews I have seen, and the stage 2 does not seem like enough. I did a search and some guys whose opinion I trust more really liked the KEP a lot. And the cup disk does not have those smaller engaging springs, so its a good setup I think! I also got the stock fly lightened. I think 300 at the wheel and the clutch starts to feel it more, those small springs are ****e!

Whats a "Sport" clutch?
I would think that may be a generic name for a "cup" type disk, esentially its like the stock one but does not have the smaller engaging springs, mine had disintegrated big time.

I was not referring to the disk being generic, but the name... "cup" is just a name too...
You will notice it will engage harder... the smaller springs were designed to make it smoother. Its supposed to feel more like a sports car should... I cant wait!

It's not the power, but the torque that overwhelms the clutch. My car came with the Cup Clutch that the previous owner installed. I upgraded to the Huntley Stg.2 turbo & MAF-4 kit for about 350rwhp and it pretty much wiped out the clutch. Lasted 40K-miles. Then I went to the Centerforce Dual-Friction clutch kit. On this last engine-rebuild, I measured the clutch at 1/2 worn with 80K-miles on it. So my estimate is that the Centerforce outlasts the Cup clutch by 4x.

Danno: I also read that the Centerforce clutches have 4x clamping power and last 4x longer than stock or 'cup' clutches. But have you seen the price on them? if i remember, someone posted (a LONG time ago) that they run ~$1000 for the kit, true/false?
