Good stuff just be sure not to romp on the new cltuch till you put a few hundred miles on it. You can gas it from a roll but dont go doing any clutch dumps.

Get a lou short stick for that pro 5.0 and you will be even more happy.

thanks. yea ive put 200 miles on in a day in a half (driving 500 miles back and forth from PA to MA every 2 weeks will give you good driving endurance) its hard not romping on it or launching it but it'll be soo worth it in the long run, its nice out today so im planning on putting another 150 or so on it tonight

Remember, Break-in mileage should be completed in stop-and-go traffic situations (city driving). Simply putting 500 hwy. miles on the clutch does not suffice. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

yea thats the worst part of it. ive been driving around parking spots. driving from a to b letting it cool off a little bit then b to a then back to b. its nice here tho cause the highways have tons of stoplights on them, and all the backroads have a million stop signs.
