Aftermarket Clutch
So 2 weeks after my IPF Supercharger install, my Spec Stage 1 Clutch Assembly completely fried out as well as my slave cylinder, and the Spec clutch has only been on for 2k miles. I don't take the car to the track or anything so I was pissed that it only lasted this long. It seems like the only other aftermarket option for clutch is RAM, but I haven't seen anyones opinion after having them on for a while. My mechanic said stock clutch is the way to go, and the only reason I am weary of this is because my stock clutch gave out at 35k miles. Better than 2k miles I suppose, but is there any better alternative for me? IPF is supposed to produce 360 ft/lbs of torque which is past stock threshold I believe.

I should add that the mechanic said that the pressure plate had some small cracks on it. I drive the car a little hard, but no burnouts or anything crazy like that. Spec also rated it at 340 ft/lbs which I shouldn't be exceeding with the IPF

All I can say is I put the IPF SC in at 43k and I now have 77k all on the original OEM clutch. I don't baby it either.

You might check with monster? I thought they were supposed to be coming up with something? Not sure if they ever decided there was enough interest to proceed or not?

My mechanic ordered the OEM Clutch already; my plan is if I can save up enough and can find an aftermarket clutch that people have been driving with for a while now and are happy with it I will make the switch then.
