I installed mine last spring when we put the engine back in the car. The correct break in process for these clutches is 500miles. I didnt break it in properly by FAR. Abused it right away and took it to the track in no time. It did hold the power pretty good and never slipped at the track. Although 1 week ago it started to slip VERY bad. Thats about 700miles on it since last spring. I had to change it and it was fried big time. I do think it's my fault though. Should of break it in properly. Now I installed a King Cobra a couple days ago and it seems to grab more than the spec stage1

He's right, the break in is 500 easy miles! This was especially difficult for me because I did my HCI the same time as my clutch. I wanted to get into so bad but had to wait.

I did the recommended break in and it is still holding up after 800 miles but i still have some chatter. It's not getting any better or worse. We shall see how it holds up to the V-2SQ, if i ever work out all the bugs going on with the car.

Still breaking mine in. It has 300 miles on it so far. No chatter at all. I am upshifting at between 2-3k and all my starts are normal easy.

Here's my review on the Spec Stage I:
