before the advance auto TOB ate my pressure plate i was able to drive a little with the stage 3 clutch and it was great no vibration what so ever it was great felt just like stock
PP and disk have shipped express mail, you should have them tomorrow.
Thanks for an awesome clutch John! I'm going to let it break in for 1,000 miles and then let her loose. Can't wait I'll post my thoughts here in a month or so.

Sounds good and I am happy to hear that the car is finally running.
Still got to get around to going to the dyno for power numbers but got some recent track times on the S3 clutch.
12.6 @ 112 on slicks. Launching at 4500 rpms, 2 step activated also.
Clutch holds up like a champ. Going with nitrous next month, 50 shot probably, maybe 75 shot so we will see how it holds up then. At the moment I would say I am ball park around 330 whp. Just ran a 2005 Mustang GT with a Saleen Supercharger on it putting down around 440 bhp (ballpark 340-350 whp) and his time in the 1/4 mile was a 12.71, mine 12.74. Neck and neck all the way down the track until the last few feet when he pulled about a 1/2-1 car on me. That is where i am getting my guestimation hp #'s. Eventually I will get a dyno chart.
Finally got around to putting in my stage 3 clutch
Have about 300 miles on it so far and it feels good. Had alot of hard vibrations at first but it slowly went away as i put some miles on. Plus my new solid tranny mount added to it.
All in all im happy with the clutch. Grabs real good and tranny shifts like butter. I highly recomend replacing the clutch fork/pivot ball while your in there too. Definately noticed a difference with everything.

Now get a N2MB WOT box and watch how they compliment each other.
BTW I am running both as well. Love it. May upgrade to the S4 or S5 later if this one starts to go but at my power level now I don't think I am going to have a problem. Great clutch
Oh, forgot, don't remember how many miles I have put on it since I installed but I would have to say between 5-10k and that bitch grips like crazy. 3rd gear pull with TCS off going 40 mph at 3k rpm and it will spin the tires all the way up to 6k rpm before it starts the tires start to grip and then slowly drop down a bit as they bite. With the TCS on I actually get traction at WOT in 3rd gear. Only thing I wish I had done was maybe get the S4 or S5 from you John since they seem to be just as streetable as the S3 and now that i have a a taste of 340 whp or so I want more.
So far zero clutch problems. S3 or higher is what I recommend to my friends and anyone else looking for a new clutch for their 300+ whp SRT-4.

Thanks and stage 3 should hold up to 500 WHP. If you look in the 425 WHP SST thread, that car has a stage 3 clutch and we will really be pushing that car here very soon. 600 WTQ is the goal and over 500 WHP as well. We have all the jets for the shot to make it happen so only time and the holidays are holding us back. I will keep you updated.
