Should work man but, with my recent experience man....I can't take the chance of putting on a used clutch, especially if i'm upping the power.

Last year we changed the setup and saw 1.40-1.42 consistent but a bent valve prevented any faster ETs.

I have never had my car to the track with my current setup...dieing to see what it can do. Best I ever did, 60 ft wise was 1.8 on Z rated tires.

Do you have a hardened output shaft? or any other driveline mods?

All I have is the DTE brace.
