Default SOS clutch

I am wondering if anyone has tried the SOS Sport clutch with the Kraftwerks Hi boost supercharger. I am wondering how the pedal feels and also wondering if there is any slip in the clutch.

Interested in this info too.. when I called SOS they told me they have not had any complaints from people making 400whp & under.
I was planning on bringing 2 pulleys when I get tuned, just in case.

I have had mine for 400 miles, pedal feels ever so slightly stiffer than a competition 1620 clutch, which is same as OEM IIRC.. been a while since my car was bone stock.

when I was turbo I was at 410whp/280ft lbs, but that was with comp 1620 clutch

I figure with 400 supercharged whp it wont be as hard on the clutch since you dont make max torque until redline. I dont plan on downshifting to 8k rpms so it shouldnt be an issue, but I might be completely wrong in my thinking.

Not sure why I'm posting, as I don't have the KW kit. In fact, I only have the Base SOS kit. However, my SOS Sport clutch was delivered this past Friday.

I'm not sure when I'll have it installed, but I'm hoping sooner rather than later. Once I do, I'll be able to dyno my car as my clutch is currently slipping and I'll provide some feedback.

I installed the SOS clutch on a local members car, we love it. Smooth as stock with a close to OEM pedal effort. I am sure that it can handle anything you can throw at it with a kraftwerks kit. I say go for it.

I have the SOS sport clutch (installed in Dec '09), I also have a CTSC. It feels just like the stock OEM. At first it seemed different, but I needed to break it in. It feels great and grabs every gear perfectly. No problems with 8000miles on it. I also resurfaced the flywheel.
