So it might not be a good choice for FI?

god I'm glad I'm not driving with my tilton clutch anymore. I look back on it and think I was stupid to think it was perfectly fine
I had the "street" version that would hold up to 300 lbs tq and was supposively much easier than the race version that would hold more torque (i think it was like 450tq?)

The car revs SUPER fast, and makes rev matching/downshifting much easier, but because of the lost weight and momentum the engine is used to, when the car drops to idle it typically stalls.
I'm assuming without a tune increasing your idle to like 1500 rpm's, the car will continuously stall at red lights, or putting the car into neutral
