Well, theres the "chatter" factor. It also has the on/off behavior, granted not as bad as a stage 3, but enough for me to hate it. A buddy of mine has the 2+ and its a night and da difference. Much more "stock like" characteristics. Dont get me wrong, Im sure all the spec clutches are great, just have to find the one that suits your needs.

Ha ha, that's not true. The Spec Stage 1 is a disaster! Although, I've never had a problem with the Stage 2, and now I have the Stage 2+ with low pedal option.

Just an FYI, part of the secret to being happy with your clutch selection is to have a good aftermarket cable, firewall adjuster, and quadrant installed along with the clutch. Personally, I like the Steeda kit, and it makes all the difference in the world to be able to adjust the clutch to how you like it, and have it stay that way!

Its very true. S197's are different in this case I guess.

Thx to all for the info. Obviously, the two peeps with N/A SN95s that chimed in is what my conscience is telling me to go by, but all experiences are something to learn from and it's greatly appreciated. Going with a 2+ w/ low pedal requirement and Fiore adj./quad.

I've already been told to use a new OEM TOB so I guess a new OEM pilot bearing couldn't hurt. Thx alot.
