Yeah. Stage 5 = Trailor queen.

Say bye-bye to your tranny if you try to drive it on the street.

I'm also running a cm stage 5, 3puck unsprung... been driving it on the streets and the track for over 1 1/2 years with no problems.... Tranny and clutch is holding up fine. You just have to get use to slipping it alittle more than normal to take off smoothly on the streets.

Yes... the unsprung center will make it more difficult to drive smoothly on the streets, but you'd likely get used to it.

clutch master stage 5 held up good for 475hp on my car but when I reached 535 hp It started slipping on me, other than that I like the clutch.

Dam, that's exactly what I didn't want to hear... I'm putting in a new setup and pushing for 550whp, was hoping to keep the clutch for awhile.

just adapt to new driving tec, aint nothing wrong with it once you get rolling. Its just at the light you gotta adapt to the take off w/propper gas, clutch release. Youll get used to it.......
