Do you still have the stock Viscous LSD? If so why not get a better performance differential, wouldn't that make a difference in getting the power to the ground?
-just my 2c

As your video clips show, the thing shifts insanely fast (think F1 style). And all day long I kept joking around to Jason that he was hiding something under the hood because it seemed much faster than it should have for a car with only intake and exhaust. The extra push from the faster revs is noticeable.
As far as its streetability, you will definately not confuse this with a stock setup. It is a perfomance part.. Stop and go is more of a chore. Not sure if I'd want this on a car that commutes through stop and go traffic on a daily basis, but in all fairness, Jason was much smoother with it that I was in my short stint behind the wheel. Personally, I wouldn't mind putting up with the occasional hazing from my friends after stalling at a stoplight for the performance and "fun factor" gains of this setup. Once you are rolling you are in for a treat. Hope this helps.

OK. Back to the noise issue with this Tilton set up. This whole light-weight flywheel/clutch sounds really interesting...but, just asking hypothetically here, is this noise it's supposed to make...is this something that a hypothetical WIFE would be able to detect and then begin an interrogation about??
There was a lot of talk about all the sucking & hissing the JWT popcharger makes...I got one & no biggee on the popcharger noise. So, is the Tilton something I can bring home in peace? I love my wife.

You will hear the tilton for sure. I thought it would be really loud from what I read, but it's not bad at all. It squeaks if you ride the clutch or try to slip the clutch to start driving, but that only lasts a second and it's not all the time. The "cement mixer" sound is only at LOW rpms and not all the time. Still not that loud at all. The last sound it made was at idle and sounded almost like a rod knock, but VERY faint. The performance makes it worth it.

I drove Jeff's car yesterday while at Performance Nissan and the Tilton setup is awesome, but definitely something that would take some getting used to. I'll be getting the setup sometime down the road when money is more plentiful ![Wink](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Well ok so supposedly this mod adds (releases) alot of HP to the wheels at least in the first to gears right? And everyone says it accelerate faster. How bout some hard numbers like 0-60 and 1/4 mile times and traps? Or is all this seat of pants impressions?
