Anyone running South Bend Stage 2 Clutch?

blisstik · 09-06-2012, 12:10 AM

Clutch is starting to slip around 4K RPM on E43 fuel (7g E85 + 9g 91oct) on 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear. It drives fine normally but not on WOT.

Options:
ACT - nice price but low engagement point
HPF - expensive but smooth and stock engagement point, can also weld

South Bend - I emailed the guy and the organic one is rated for 500 ft/lbs of torque. Has anyone actually installed this? How is the engagement point?

Bump for answers!
They have several options including organic and feramic clutches, so I'm curious too if anyone here has experience with them...
