i have the XTD, came all but new when i bought the car

nice sharp uptake, and really light, i like it

biggest disadvantage is its hard to be smooth with it and that type of clutch (6 puck) if known for eating the crap out of your flywheel

i does chatter until your break it in pretty well (~2000 miles)

Yeah, it will handle some HP, not sure how much, but it should handle a reasonable amount. I am yet to get to really get on it yet because of some issues I have to work out, but it handled some low boost runs just fine. It did'nt change the pedal pressure

Garbage from what I've seen first hand. Can't handle much torque, doesn't work on a mere 240 ft lbs, just spins like a ****. I heard the pressure plate that comes with that kit is just a painted stock unit!

Came with my car when I bought it, worked great. But I have a ACT HD PP and a CC bronze 4 puk sprung clutch now and it works alot better though.
