so u want torque huh?
i wanted to get a little extra power to my wheels so i bought a clutchmaster stage 2 and i went to have it put in then i sent to have my friends pick my car up.....so of course they were "testing out" the new clutch.......until one of them tried to slam second gear and the damn shif linkage fell out to the ground......turns out i was missing an AC bracket that served as a motor mount and the clutch gave so much torque it twisted the motor and cracked the trans case .....i don't suppose this has happend to anyone else? .......last time i EVER let anyone drive my car other than me..........

never 'test out the new clutch' just as it has been put in...

Tthe Si tranny will actually make you perform better because it is tighter geared. It will work perfectly. You will definatly notice an improvment for the better.

I thought CM stage 1 and 2 don't require a break in period?
They told me only stage 3 requires break in.
As far as your a/c mount...I ran my car for over a year without that mount and never had a problem.
