Yes, i got my money back from RPM, I replaced the TOB with a OEM part, i never upgraded it. As for the flywheel its hard to explain ill have to get some pictures to show you. The outcome of the whole thing is i think that they redesigned it so that the pressure plate doesn't flex anymore when you push in the clutch by changing the bolt locations. Hopefully you guys will be fine. Let me know how it is, because it looked like a bad *** clutch. I switched to a RAM clutch that chatters now. Overall i hate clutches!

I have the spec stage 2, along with the spec billet steel flywheel. Both those together were under $500 and I've had zero problems. I used a new stock TOB, but probably didn't need a new one. The spec stage 2 is rated for 599ft lbs of torque, that's more than you'll need on a stock motor.
