Well if the bash is Indy, ill be racing there, but due to et and traps i cant have passengers. But otherwise ill be racing a lot local at Cordova dragway and Byron speedway.

As soon as I get it worthy it goes back down to Fetter once again for the final step of my car.

Ive said for the longest time now, i dont care if i make 350hp or 400hp or even 450, as long as I hit a 11.50-11.99, the car is done. I ABSOLUTELY refuse to cage this car and its a daily driver. The day this car becomes a chore to drive is the day im no longer enjoying it. Caging it would ruin it for me for sure. This will most likely be the last year for my go fast parts.

My car is already a chore, I scrape going into my garage my battery is dead all the time cause I don't drive it, I need to tuck it in tight backwards in the garage and move my dd out of the way. But eh I still love it.

How's this clutch gonna feel for DD? hard pressure plate probably and grab like a bitch...gonna have to slip it pretty bad in 1st....my friend has stage 4 clutch no springs on his 3000gt, he said it's a real left leg work out just to press and and oh boy it grabs hard when i drove it stalled like 3 times until i got it moving pretty bumpy

As far as climbing over a cage, cutting and welding to the body for the cage, its too much of a pain in the ass. Love the car too much to work hard at driving it.

Like I said, this is my last big push with the car and could probably hit my goal with what I have right now. But I would rather do it with less effort. Plus some issues need resolved so fetter will take care of those. In the mean time the only thing left exterior wise is a new set of wheels and I have been looking at focal f05s in flat black paired with falken azenis rt615k. 17x7.5 like I have now. 42mm offset and 20lbs each

Well one of the main reasons I got this clutch was driveability. It drives better than stock. Only requires half the amount of pedal travel as well. That's the advantage of a twin disc. Less effort for more stopping power.

Usually less pedal travel means harder street driven. But much better for racing.

Its gonna be at fetters anyways. Just have him cage the thing already!!. Hes need some eco competition at the track

See driving the other one, felt softer than stock, with butter like engagement and take off with the less pedal travel. I wanted to be sure and drive it to be sure. Considering how much I plan to drive and race

I just cant cage it, lol. cant do it. besides, I wont be competition for him at all. regardless this block is capped at 450 and i dont plan to go above that. Then it turns into sleeves, into a bigger turbo, into injectors, fuel system.... too much for me to do to this car.

these wheels eventually i think

You're not block capped @ 450, Factory sleeves can take more then that imo. Or do what we did and get Gen II blocks
