Hey guys, thought I'd pay a visit and sign up while I'm here.

I have a 05 GTO (hence my user name). Lot's of mods, and more in the works.

Hey guys, I don't know why it took me so long to get here! Lot's of good info here too.

I need to post up a clutch for sale, but I know there will be lost of flaming, for a newb to post such an expensive item for sale. Haven't looked yet, I guess it's the standard "gotta have 20 post to list something in the for sale section"?

First off, I bought the car in July 07, it was slighlty used with 3,436 miles on it. Previous owner had installed a K&N cai. When purchased it had the sap grilles and 18's.

It now has 8,000 miles on it.

Mod list:

Did the maggie 112 & Kook's 1 3/4" LT's and a cam, made 528 rwhp and 497 torque. Ran that for 1500 miles. Pulled the motor, and now building a forged stroked 402, main girdle kit, overdriven 122 & 60 lb injectors, ETP 225 heads, ARP head stud kit, Scorpion rockers, ATI dampner, Noltec motor mounts, all topped with custom ABEAR valve covers, upgraded fuel system, DSS 1 pc DS, Difftechs 1000 rwhp stub to hubs, Harrop cover, Changed out to Kook's coated 1 7/8, Borla cat back, Billet shifter, Full Pedders Track II 1" front 1/2" rear, Hotchkis sways, Wilwood on all four corners, tripple pillar pod w/ boost fp and a/f, dash pod w/ oil & amp

Complete Alpine system = deck, amps fours speakers and two JL audio subs. Viper alarm w/ proximity sensor, up / down window module.

I'm a long-range sniper. 13 Series/Redleg/King of Battle. Basically, an Artilleryman.

Sounds like you will need one heck of a clutch to hold that power. If you want stock peddle feel that has yet to be torn up by anyone try the Bird of Prey. They are rated to 800rwhp and expect that it will hold 1000K just no one with that much power has gotten ahold of one.

I have been doing some reading up on them, sounds like a good clutch. From everything that I have read, no one yet has been unhappy. But then again, they are so new.
