Clutch upgrade

Shortly after installing my IPF supercharger, my Clutch started to slip. Both Sycraft and myself went with the Ram dual clutch setup. We both like the Ram Cutch and it'll run you around $1100.

I had approx 45K when I installed the supercharger and I never noticed the clutch slipping until the supercharger upgrade

My stock clutch started to slip so I upgraded to a Spec Stage 2... which cracked after 2000 miles -__-
So stay away from Spec and upgrade to a Ram once you feel your clutch slipping. After the Spec blew I went back to a stock clutch assembly and it has been holding up very well, so no need to change it out until it starts to wear.

FWIW, I installed my IPF kit 3-4k miles ago and clutch is still fine. I guess its a matter of if you get on it a lot and etc.
