Are you trying to slip the clutch like the stock unit? I'm used to driving the regular Spec stage 3 and it is more of an on/off type clutch being a 6 puck design. The Stage 3+ grabs hard too but can be driven a little more like a stock clutch can. I had the very slightest chatter on mine in the beginning but a lot of it has to do with driving style.

I slip the clutch a little so it wont stahl. It will shake till about 5-10 mph. I have the Spec stage 3 and aluminum flywheel. Isnt that what you have?

I had the regular stage 3 with stock flywheel and now have the stage 3+ with aluminum flywheel. The regular stage 3 for me required a quick slip and then go. It never really jerked or bucked at low rpm unless you really tried to slip it a lot.

Mine jerks and bucks too. I have about 200 miles on the clutch. Did your car stop doing it with the Stage 3+?

The stage 3+ is a dream of a clutch for being able to hold 800ftlbs. I'll let you try it out at the SBZ cruise if you would like.

I've got over $30k invested in mods on the car. It's gone through a bunch of changes trying to get the supporting mods where I want them before installing the F1A Procharger on the car. The current iteration of mods consists of:

JLT Intake
Mac 1 3/4 longtubes
Mac O/R Prochamber
CMCP deletes
E85 Tune by Dayton Performance
TR6060 6 speed (was formerly Viper Spec T56)
Spec Stage 3+ with low pedal pressure option
Spec Aluminum Flywheel
Detroit Tru-Trac Diff
4.30 Gears
Lower control arms
BMR Extreme Ant-Roll Bar
BMR K-member
BMR A-arms
BMR radiator support/front swaybar delete
Greg Weld Skinnies
Weld XP 15x9 rears with 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials

So far the best the car has gone with the T56 and no skinnies up front is a 12.85@106.6mph. I hope to improve on that before dropping the new motor in. I've added skinnies up front and switched to the TR6060 which has a 2.97 1st gear vs. a 2.66 1st on the T56. This should hopefully let me improve on the 1.73 best ever 60' time so far.

I have a 302 stroker being built by Dayton Performance and they are also porting a set of heads that will have oversized valves and custom blower cams with VCT eliminated.

Waiting in the wings to support that are:
Fore Precision Billet Triple Pump Hat with 3 GT(40) pumps, upgraded lines, Fore 3v Fuel rails, MDM Mega Driver FPDM, and a Procharger F1A kit with race intercooler and polished blower. I am going to eventually be running 120 or 160lb injectors to support the car running on E85, along with the injectors will have to go an injector driver since the factory ECU can't run low impedance injectors.

The end goal is ~800rwhp and whatever ET's I can muster trying to put that to the ground with drag radials and the 6 speed. I want to be able to drive to and from the track and only have to worry about changing air pressure in the tires, run the number, re-inflate and head home.

05Yellowgt, did you feel a difference with the K-member and A-arms. How did it effect ride quality? Is it a rougher ride? Did you feel a difference in the weight loss?

Bump for my question
04-23-2009, 08:35 AM
05yellowgt

Sorry didn't see your questions before. The ride quality wasn't really affected negatively at all. Along with the A-arms and k-member I also did the front swaybar delete at the same time. It made a nice difference in weight transfer. I did lose a bit of corning ability but nothing like you do in a fox body. If you don't do the swaybar delete then you will notices crisper turn in thanks to the poly bushings or spherical bearings on the a-arms instead of the soft hydro bushings in the stock a-arms.

Oh yeah and the car made 650/605 with a slipping clutch.

I already have a Steeda light weight radiator support designed to work with the sway bar so Im not going to delete the sway bar. I heard the K member with arms makes the ride a rougher than stock I was curious how much. I want my car to handle like a champ so I think I will make the purchase.

Yep Kenny did an awesome job! Chris just 2 sets of 18in chrome roush wheels and we have LOTS of stuff that needs installed still...obviously! Hopefully I can get the rest of my roush bodykit painted and put on in a couple wks and he's getting his borla l/t headers put on in a wk and a half so the stangs are coming together.... VERY slowly, but surely :bigthumb

Did you install your K-member yourself? If so how long did it take, any special tools, any suggestions?
05-08-2009, 12:34 AM

What do you think of these? Not bad for 26lbs weighted loss. However Im not sure how the insurance company would like it if I was to get in an accident (Knock on wood) with these on. Do you think they would cover the damages?

It was installled on a lift. I think it only took a couple of hours. My a-arms got done at the same time so the entire stock assembly was removed at once then the new k-member and a-arms were bolted back in. It's doable with jack stands in the garage, just plan on adding some time.

I'm probably going to have someone make a set instead of paying $200 a piece for them. Are they worth it for a street car? Probably not.
