Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pressure plate is the only thing that's rated to 400lbs, not the race disc/6 puck right? Could'nt you run a street disc with a stronger pressure plate, that way you keep the smooth feel? Or will the street disc not hold?

correct, the PP is what is rated for torque capacity.

Competition Clutch ALL THE WAY, great clutches.

Also I get pretty good pricing on these, ah nah make that awesome pricing so if interested give me a shout. The Stage 3 sounds good for your set up BUT you may also want to look at the Stage 4, it is cheaper and will hold more power SO when you dod decide you want more power

I got the Clutchmasters Stage 5, it was really cheap ($250) and gets the job done. If pricing was not an issue, I'd go back to an ACT XTR6 (Extreme pressure plate with a 6-puck unsprung hub disk). I daily drove that clutch, drag raced it, road courses, and autocrossed it with a 408 WHP setup and loved it. It was easy to control the chatter, and I slipped the hell out of it and it never had any problems.

I have a competition 1420 clutch (stage 5? on their website).

It is a little stiffer than stock, I rarely have any issues with chatter, and from what I can tell...it hasn't slipped on me yet (its a sprung 4 puck disc). I've had it for about 2 years.
