Honestly, I've been nice to my new clutch and I haven't been running it hard. I did a 0-100 yesterday....I'm going to hurt some GTR owners feelings, BAD. Bad...............

And I might be H/C by the time my buddies GTR is finished.

NOT that I would need it...I still think my set up will work just fine. WE WILL SEE!!! GTR =
Word of advice, go out early (like today) and find out what mph your car pulls the best in each gear. If you are off, say in 3rd at too low of an rpm, you will lose a lot of time. I would see what mph you are at in 2nd and 3rd gear when doing around 3500-4500 rpm for a start. That should be close to your power spot. Then try and stick to your mph for the race, not his !!

You probably already know all this, but thought I would run it by you just in case.

EVERYONE on this forum should know this...

Thanks though, that is good advice.
