You have a clutchmaster stg 3 and it feels close to stock????
If you are talking about Sachs, then I might agree.

Call Kevin at UMW. He *has* to be on top of the best clutch setups because
all his turbos go through a passage-to-manhood ritual, where within 1 month
after breaking in, they must all kill the nearest unprotected clutch. Rumor has
it that they can slightly weaken the clutch of any other car parked too near.
I've toasted 2 clutches in my car, including an EVO stage II/III. The one Kevin
specified is now in residence and happy with 1.5 bar and race gas, and 100%
no exaggeration feels completely stock.
And it's not just which clutch, but who to install it, and what specific details
to observe and be careful of. There is much jeopardy in making any of a number
of easy-to-make mistakes in the installation. Kevin was like a 'stage mom' when
I decided on getting his clutch. He had to consult with the installers beforehand
like this was an arranged marriage or something (which it was sort of...) "Don't
forget to replace this extra thingie with the teflon-coated one", and "Make sure
this ring is perfectly flush with this housing" etc....
