I am/was only reporting what a reputable Subaru mechanic has opined. I have always recommended higher stage clutches.
Only one time have I installed a stock Subaru clutch behind a 3.3 and it slipped instantly. Took it out, had the stock flywheel step machined for more pressure, it slipped again. Took it out, installed a custom flywheel with a stage? clutch, and it has been fine ever since.
