I'm currently using the stage 3 daily clutch rated for 400 ft-lbs and it feels almost as easy as stock and SO much better than the ACT XT I was using before. There's also hardly any flywheel chatter on deceleration, unlike the ACT street-lite flywheel that was deafening loud on deceleration and even chattered at idle with the A/C on. Imagine sitting at a traffic light with the A/C on next to someone with their window down.  I did also have a separate issue with the ACT clutch failing and letting go in the middle of a redline pull at only ~200 ft-lbs of torque (4000 rpm or so maybe?). The only reason I went with another of the same was because it was covered by ACT's warranty.
The Radium catch can kit is the cleanest and best looking kit in my opinion and if you're boosted or going to be, you should probably get the dual kit. After seeing the junk that my catch cans have caught, I highly recommend against getting one that drains what it catches back into your block.
Also as mentioned directly above, a proper custom tune should be step 1. |
How long have you been FI with stick internals?
