Just installed the new clutch today and thought maybe someone thinking about buying this kit would like some insight on it... Anyway... Install was not to to bad took 4.5 hours or just shy of that start to finish. I have only put about 30 miles on it since install this am but I can report a few things at this point so far... First it has a much stiffer but still Oem like feel to it, but still much stiffer. This could be partly do to my smoked stocker but it was an immediate thing I noticed... Another thing I noticed was the chatter from the single mass. It is most def louder than the dual mass from the factory, although I did know this going into it as I will say ecs tuning has been very upfront about this in forums. More vibrations transfer to the cab when lugging in 5th gear at 40 mph for example. It just makes me stay in 4th gear more often. Also maybe a little faster to rev but I haven't hammered it at all but seems to climb a little quicker.. I will be going for another 20-30 mile ride tonight so I will keep this post updated as to feel of the clutch during break in... Mods include Apr stage 1, ecs snub mount, ecs boost gauge, intake, test pipe, 3" resonated down pipe into split. 2.5" into magna flow magnapacks... Sure I'm forgetting something.
Another thing, ecs tuning has been good to me as far as service, questions etc. for example they messed up my order and forgot to put a part in the box. My car was stripped down and on the lift.( not the best feeling) after calling ecs they were very apologetic and told me expect it tomorrow by 10am and again told me how sorry they were for the mess up. This speaks volumes about a company and service like that after a screw up has been why I have continued to give them my business. I am not biased towered any company but until I have a bad experience they will continue to get my business.
Have also driven many cars with the jhm kits in them as well... My buddy's have hammered the piss out of them. 200-300+ track passes. they are legit also. Another top notch company that makes GREAT parts. Both kits are about the same I think but I think both are great kits... Sorry for the rant but I'm a little exited! Will update as break in keeps going!
