Default F1 Racing Stage 4 Clutch

I have the F1 Racing Stage 3 but have not had any experience with it yet since my car is not back on the road. I have since found a Stage 4 from F1 that I dont beleive they had before. Supports 435HP and 419TRQ. IT consists of a solid 6 puck unsprung disk. If I like the Stage 3 Im going to go for the Stage 4 next summer.

John,
That clutch is a China made pressure plate and disc and/or an Exedy plate if you're lucky. Just spend some decent dollars on an ACT or Exedy and call it a day.

hey john if you really want to cheap out i used a cc pressure plate (sourced from Carlanga after his cc clutch kit took a dump), ACT street disk,stock TOB, stock flywheel. So i paid 80 for a clutch kit, 40 for flywheel resurfaceing. So far its working...ill see how the long term goes.

OEM TB, def a good choice.

CC plates seemed ok. The majority of the problems seemed to have arisen from the discs and springs. So an ACT disc can work for sure. We can sell those all day long to the community.

Ken, worked out decent until he discovered a nasty fuel leak and now the tune is completely off AGAIN. Going to work some quick magic on Friday for him now that I have become more acquainted with the newest edition of KPRO.

Yea it was really wierd....He had the srt4 injectors, actually 2 sets of them, and no matter what they all leaked in the same injector location. No matter what orings he used. Even tried swithcing to a different fuel rail an it still leaked. Kens my good friend.

I hate to do something as cheesy as mix matching parts like that but desperate times call for desperate measures....and besides you guys took most of my money

It feels good... I dont know if its because I got used to it but I feel like its close to stock. My buddies is the same as mine but I dont know why it feels a lot harder than mine and has a different engagement point...hard for me to drive....

Btw spoke to a rep the stage 4 is the exact same thing as the stage 3 as far as set up n holding about the same amount of power the only difference is that the stage 4 is unsprung...personally the stage 3 will work perfect for me since i dd the tc but one i out grow what the actual 6 puck disk is rated for then ill jus upgrade the disk

The links I added and gripforce all stated an increase in power rating that kind of stinks what the hell!?!?
