I won't mind running you guys when I get my car back, although the clutch peddle sticks when shifting into fourth sometimes. Need a throwout bearing. I have gotten it into 4th a few times tho. Haven't had a chance to go at it with somebody in the car yet.

Doesn't really slip at all, no smell or anything. Normal driving it is perfectly fine. When I get on it hard, shifting first to second is fine second to third is usually fine and when shifitng into 4th at redline the pedal sticks. The peddle will stick to the floor and the clutch will stay engaged. If I pull the peddle back up with my foot and then push back down again it will engage and disengage just fine. I change the clutch fluid all the time.
Hopefully next year I can afford to put in a clutch and get the heads done along with a rear end output shaft. Car is fast enough for me, lol.

Chris go down to Bradley by where the old Kays Merchandise was. Me and LS184 went down there the other day looking for a GTO that wanted to race me...and he says theres a ton of "fast" cars down there. Maybe something around your level?
