    Weird question... how much can I beat on my SouthBend StageIII clutch vs. OEM

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I like to do occasionally 3500k launches, drive rough and such..

    Never any outrageous 6k launches or anything, just normal stuff..

    Can I expect my clutch to go out in the next 30-40k? or Because its a Stage III, it will last for alot longer?

    I never slip the clutch, at all.

    supposed to be good for all the abuse you can throw at it. as long as you dont slip it then you are good.

    Okay okay, I don't launch very often, But I was just wondering if the stage III can take a good beating.

    Don't know on B6 but my buddy with his B5 was BEATING on it every single second he had it. And I mean he was BEATING THE PISS out of that car and I don't think he had any problems.

    southbend clutches have held upwards of 700whp with no issues, hundreds of 1/4 mile passes without issue, only reason the said car has moved from the southbend setup is that it is now sponsored by clutch masters and is going to run one of their twin disks setups which should hold 950whp.

    Unless you are doing 6k drops everyday and you happen to have a supercharger, you should be good to go.

    Re: Weird question... how much can I beat on my SouthBend StageIII clutch vs. OEM

    I'm starting to believe that investing in an upgraded clutch would probably give you a bigger performance (1/4 ETs) than ECU chip w/ full exhaust w/ DPs. Would most of you agree?

    Could one of you JHM reps shoot me a PM w/ some quotes for a clutch upgrade w/ the light 2piece rotors too?



    Exactly what does slipping the clutch mean? I think that means dropping the clutch but want to verify.

    ive noticed with my stage III and lightweight flywheel im getting quicker acceleration and the stage III clutch is built to handle more abuse than a OEM clutch so yes it will be fine

    My car launches like a bat out of hell with the stg III clutch. I don't hesitate to do 3.5-4k launches...
