yeah man, i see you are still running sharifs corrections on your 8 psi 480 hp, if you were to jump on a dynojet you would put down a lot lower, not going to get into all this again, but SAE corrected dynojet with a slipping clutch let me hit 470 at 4000 then the clutch slipped really really bad, i know its the RPS max 6puck, with JWT flywheel. that was all done at 13 psi with the greddy tt kit. i personally hate that clutch and would never recommend it to anyone seeking power. as soon as i get my car back up , i will drive it to sharifs shop, do a dyno run there and then go to a dynojet there the same day, i too am curious about the difference on the two. there arent any dynodynamics here in orlando area that i have ever heard of....

ACT has a Stage 1 pressure plate but different disks available. I talked to the ACT reps yesterday and they can tweak the 6 puck sprung hub to hold 615 ft/lb with the same pressure plate. I'd still go for that with the ACT Prolite flywheel as my choice.

Their flywheel seemed to make things a bit noisier on my car as compared to an ACT/ACT setup I drove back to back. And the ACT Prolite flywheel equipped car I drove definitely revved up faster.

JWT flywheel is definately noisy on my car as well and on many others I have heard posting the same thing. It really isn't a big deal though once you get used to it. My car makes so many random noises now (clutch, flywheel, rear diff, exhaust, bov, w/g dumps) its just rediculous and I can't pay attention to much to any one of them

I did not want to start a new thread, and i ran a search, and came up with this. I have an 06, barely 3k miles, when putting the car in reverse, sometimes i will hear a squeak outside the car...anyone know what this is? Is this normal?

bump on this seriously, its a very loud squeak that only appears sometimes , usually on a hill in reverse? Def does not sound normal, almost like bad brakes....
