the amounts of power it can hold. the higher the stage, the more power it can hold without slipping, but also becomes less practical for a daily driver.

the main difference is in the torque that you can apply...
when i changed from a stage 2 to a stage 3 there was a HUGE difference in grab.. where my car once may have had some leway.. it not straight up grabs... for examply.. when backing up.. the car shakes and shimmies... ( yes i realize you can just give it some more gas.. ) another thing that i notices... where a stage two lets you.. feather the pedal.. the stage three straight up grabs. you can feather the clutch... but there isnt much give..
here are some numbers ( these are in torque, NOT horse power )
stage 1 toruqe is 260 ft lbs
stage 2 torque is 309 ft lbs
stage 3 toruqe is 349 ft lbs
stage 3+ torque is 429 ft lbs
stage 4 torque is 349 ft lbs
stage 5 torque is 540 ft lbs
there may not be a big number difference.. but it is really a large difference.
I went from a stage 2 to a stage 3+ with alot of upgrades.
I hope this clarify's things

I know the trans are the same minus the LSD but when looking up Spec clutches it gives you diff. part #'s and tq numbers for reg. 2.0 protege's amd mazdaspeeds. just wondering which you have?
I'm assuming I will need a new throw out bearing and pilot bearings?

well I may have mis read your post wrong.. they are both for the msp, aparently i cant read this week.. either way, I called and placed my order telling them what mods i had for my car and they gave me the best for the optioin. but for all pourposes it is a MSP stage 2 Spec clutch... the difference between the two is about 21 ft lbs of torque. where as i have a stage 3+ in my car at the moment and it is aparently capable of holding 475 ft lbs torque.. sorry for miss reading :=)
ill take it at the "give away" you dont even have to do the new motor.. ill take it blown up!
