The pressure on the pedal is stiffer than stock, but I no longer noticed after a day or two of driving. It engages and shifts like stock as far as I'm concerned.

I know a hard part of increasing power is keeping it on the ground, but what kinda tires are you using ?? With that minimal of mods you shouldn't really be breaking the tires loose this soon should you ? I mean it sounds like that clutch has one hell-of-a grip but if your starting to spin shouldn't you buy new tires ?

I'm making 330-340whp in race mode, which is plenty to break loose all 4 in cold weather (cold track/cold tires). I'm just going to have to start lowering my tire pressure, which is something I've been avoiding up until now.

What are the differences between these two? Does one do better than the other or are they all the same ? There are generally inexpensive parts , but i would like to get a really good part instead of suffer the trials and tribulations of those of you who had to find out the hard way which was better.
my vote: Hallman Pro RX if you want no problems and a benchmarked part
get the Forge if you dont mind stuff that JUST hit the market and got endorsed right-away by an Evo demi-god tuner. i dont think you would be wrong either way its just how cautious you are.

Let other people see how it really is in the longrun, ill stick to a tried and true proven model that has had all its kinks worked out. plus, as far as the ratcheting thing it sounds good, but atleast for the hallman you have to turn it several, several times to get the boost to 22psi, now i dont know how far apart the detents are but it sounds like you would be doing ALOT of counting.

im not tryint to say the forge is a buggy unit, im just saying i went with hallman because it had proven itself inthe evo community, where as forge was just starting to get applied. Being cautious is the way i am, and i just bought the hallman for my own personal peace of mind, again not saying that forge unit is inferior.

I can fully understand and appreciate your reasons for doing what you did, but as a little background, we have been designing and manufacturing performance products for many years and this particular product has been in development and extensive testing for over 12 months itself.
We premiered the prototype units at SEMA last year and have been working out the "kinks" ourselves (on my car no less) since then.
We feel that our product is superior in every aspect to similar units on the market and we back it up with a LIFETIME warranty.
If the unit is not working properly, or you just don't like it even, we'll either repair it, replace it, or refund the total purchase price (minus shipping).
Hard to beat it with a stick, really!

It boggles the mind.
