    i went with SOUTHBEND Stage III+ (endurance) clutch with @SteveKen's conversion kit and wish i would have gone Stage IV. the clutch "feels" and engages extremely smoothly and doesn't feel like its got the amount of power and tq on it that it does. Drives just fine in traffic, not too stiff. but it struggles in hard torquey pulls. at about 1600 miles on the 6Spd swap/clutch.

    so has the clutch actually slipped on you under full pedal acceleration?
    what do you mean by struggles in hard pulls?
    I take it the car is with stock turbos correct?
    Whose manual software are you running?
    Stage III Endurance...I don't see + stage III
    I rather have smooth engagement should be great, why have a stiff clutch pedal?
    Also I see that you are in California
    where?
    I am by san Francisco
    Thanx

    Im running Daz(RIP) tune. I'm on stock turbos, with Wagner IC setup, walbro 450 fuel pumps, gutted Main cats, Milltek Resinator Midpipes with 3" straight pipe the rest of the way. Full Apikol\stern mount setup. Stasis 4:1 centerdiff, Jhm short shifter...: soon to be doing injectors, water/meth, and bigger turbos. The clutch slips a little under hard load like 3rd gear cruising to full throttle. I mentioned the smoothness of the clutch because I EXPECTED IT TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE. I actually love the way it drives. I WOULD HAVE GONE WITH THE STAGE IV if I'd have known the stage III endurance was so smooth. Bi assume the jump from 3 to 4 won't be that big of a difference in drivability.
