I sent the catback, brackets(some) for blower, radiator, and a few other things to the powder coater YESTERDAY....and I just got them back already... and they look awesome. Props to FUZION Performance coatings in Boca Fla. Now I gotta take apart the alternator, the TB, and the procharger bracket so I can have that stuff coated....as well as the new 2" headers, and X pipe.... We have 2 TiAL RED 50mm BOV's coming in for it...which means I will be ditching the silver TiAL 50mm bov on the car now...

Thanks panther... this is just another car that we aren't building

Clutch is McLeod Street Twin, 64048B-00-07 with steel flywheel. McLeod rates it at 1,200 HP.
Have option to go with 3.4" or 3.8" pulley, the 3.4" may necessitate a triple. If that is the case, there will be a great deal on the forum for a slightly used clutch.

Radiator, coated. ****, I forgot the alternator...but, gotta dissasemble that(haven't done that in like 12 years) and get that coated... So, x pipe, intercooler, and coldside piping I need to fab, beadroll, then have coated, and coating wise...all done.

ha.. no problem for me...used to torture like clutch setups and daily driving. OneBadCad however....lol... whos planning lots of daily use in this beotch... will have his work cutout for him though.

The clutch I pulled out of it(currently) looks really good, hardly abused. Best looking clutch for a 550+ wheelHP car that it was. Anywho, in the long run, we'll be fine bro. No big deal when we're used to it. I don't know what a soft pedal feels like lol.
