well mine is horrible sounding (really loud) we think that o'riely messed up on the flywheel..we had to get it done twice cause the first time was not good enough.

 

it could be the clutch as well...Mine isnt that loud but my fiends IS..it is all in the clutch some are louder than other...Dunno why...just are

It will chatter pretty good for the first ~ 500miles. After that it will get pretty smooth. All on how you slip it.

 

when i slip thr clutch slow it is real loud (sometimes) it is getting a little better though...that has to be good

 

calm down, it's normal.
When I've put mine together I was horrified by the sound the clutch made when slipping. Then I discovered that this is called chatter, and it's pretty normal. After 3000 miles, mine is completely streetable, but the first couple miles were "there's nooo f' way i'm gonna drive this thing in traffic"

 

my chatter is allmost gone after about 500 miles. It gets better as time gose by.

 

wierd, mine had about 450 on it, after 70 miles it was completely fine to me... no chatter... and smooth... about 150 its was completely...perfect... if i didnt know its wasnt stock, and i jsut got car, besides for gripping, i wouldnt knwo it was a performance...

i also got the spec stage 3 & it chatters but not much noise from
it.

haven't put too many miles on it because the clutch install was done in winter but the short time i drove it i'll take the chatter for the holding power this clutch has.

more than happy with this clutch

 

I have a stage 2, and it chatters depending how you slip it as well

 

I have been on these boards for a while now and seen this many times and have been guilty of it myself. Everything you do to your car will affect more than how fast you get down the track. Basically you can’t have a 10 second car and expect it to drive like you just rolled out of the dealer. The spec stage 3 was designed to hold power and do it well but it isn't going to feel like stock. I myself went with the twin street and as said above after a few miles on it the chattering calmed down but is still there at times. At first I felt like I should take the dam thing out because I though that my teeth were going to shake out of my head but now it isn't that bad. However I have accepted that it will never feel like stock. You should also accept the fact that your stage 3 will never feel like stock ether. Just the price you pay to be able to drop the clutch at 4k on slicks and take off like a bat out of hell. Just trying to give you a little advice if you didn't already know this.

 

PS
i hope your not running that setup on a 10 bolt. because if you are good luck and have the money for a 12 bolt ready . i blew mine on a basicly stock car.

 

what should i do to prevent that from happening (how to launch and what parts can i get to help prevent my rear end from going out

 

i DID break my rear end on a stock car..
