I think the stage 3 can handle over 600rwhp vs the 500 for the stage 2. Other than that and the price, I don't think there's any huge differences.

I've always wondered how the clutch would feel. Is there a significant difference in effort needed per stage?

That's what I was thinking, maybe a difference in feel or something.. I mean $20 for an extra 100+ rwhp performance, who wouldn't drop the extra cash?

Let's see your rolling a Saleen clone, figured if you got the coin for that you go the coin for the install. Also keep in mind the midpipe has to come down starter out, if you got LT they need to come off, (which means basically taking the whole frontend apart) shifter (no biggie but still) resurface flywheel and reverse all the above. Plus I'm forgetting something I know. $650 high maybe, don't know going rate in your area but totally out of the ballpark nope. Of course you could just do it yourself.
