I have this clutch and have nothing good to say about it other than the fact that your left leg will grow. The harder that I run the better it seems to grab.

Zoom D2. tiny bit of chatter, light pedal feel, never sticks, holds a lot of power.

We have the 3+ clutch and the steel flywheel in our turbo Z06 shop car. It holds 740 ft-lbs with no problem.

I had the 3+ in my 640rwhp setup as a DD with not one issue. When I went with the 402 I put in a 3+ twin I liked it so much.

I have this clutch in my 427 D1sc 17lb boost and 150 nitrous and no problems. As advertised it will chatter til you have 500-700 miles and then just goes away, feels like stock to me. Cheers

I used the 3+ IN my 97. I like it alot. Not quite as smooth as stock, but pretty close. Pedal pressure is pretty close to stock as well. I am running about 545HP with a p1sc and holds fine for me.
