I would get the competition stage 5 clutch, and for tuning aem ems is the way to go, and i guess you could get away using the emanage, but i wouldn't do it.

I HATE my competition clutch stage 4!!!
It just plain sucks to drive. It's completely on / off and if u try to slip it it overheats easily and starts to scream in anger. LOL

I'm already thinking of something different like the SOS twin carbon.

And this same setup is still holding 429hp 295trq. Just be prepared these clutches release high so it's really weird getting used to.

And to TRBOKEV I've still yet to overheat this clutch either through slipping in traffic, which in one case I was in stop and go on a highway for over 30minutes. I'm thinking something is wrong with your setup.

There is nothing wrong with his setup. A puck clutch just plain sucks for a daily driver. It is awful trying to roll out of first gear unless you are really paying attention. It buzzes like crazy and chatters if you do not have the revs right out if first gear. It is also hard on the driveline IMO.

With that said it does hold the power but to me it sacrifices driveability. I drove the car for a thousand miles with this setup and you do start to get used to it, but you can forget letting anyone else drive your car, they will not know how to do it.

I was using the CC stage 4 clutch for a while. I too agree that it SUCKED to drive! I hated that thing. Made driving the car more of a pain in the ass then what it's worth.

If you daily drive the car, I would say try find a different clutch. But if you are looking for 500whp, then you are gonna need a strong clutch anyways which means just about any clutch is going to be a PITA.
