Default i got my clutch installed this week.... little ruff

it grabs alright but how long do i wait like 500 miles to bed it right??? dont want to break it. its also a spec stage 4 its nice but grabs hard which is ok but i was wondering if it gets smoother or thats just as it is.

Default my AWE stg2 (southbend) took about 400-500 miles before it wasn't

so "grabby and stuttery". i suppose it could have been my leg that got used to the clutch, but in the beginning, it seemed no matter how much i concentrated on the pedal, it was hard to drive it. never stalled it once though
