talked to the guy yesterday. He seemed like a pretty straightforward and cool guy. For the price, it's a pretty good deal. Actually, if it does what it/they say it does, it is a killer deal. They sell the clutch prefferably as an entire kit, flywheel/pressure plate/master/slave/etc. to keep everything consistent to what they expect the clutch to see.

his price was really reasonable come to think of it.

Yeah it really is. The only person who has run it said he liked it better than his excedy! With everything, is the cost 850 or what will it be? If you know.

the aussie guy from "down under" told me it has taken 1.44-1.550 60' launches, as well as high hp, heavy aussie cars w/o having problems. As for a exact number, you might wanna call them and ask for that kind of information

When I talked to them, he said there are several 700rwhp + supercharged and turbo cars with this clutch and no problems.

However, they dont have a lot of people down there spraying over a 200 shot or spraying out of the hole as nitrous prolly isnt as popular.
