            A 3+ will NOT handle an maxed out HX40, which is capable of >550whp. It will be slipping excessively.

                3+ disc with 5+ pressure plate was OK for 580hp / 700nm @ wheels and is fine to use on the street. A bit harder pedal, but not to bad

                  580 crank or wheel hp?, and how harsh is the stage 5 clutch compared to the 3+

                    Never used a "pure" stage 5, but I guess it is much "harsher" as the 3+ is as soft as a stock clutch. The 3+ / 5+ combo is a good compromise as there is no problem with slipping the clutch in normal driving. It's just harder on the left leg
