the most the car @Z1 made was 18psi but peak power was 590rwhp@15psi

im looking into changing the housings when i do my build, i was told that housings would be less than $400 and could make ~650rwhp

NGK copper LFR6A-11

Got sick of spending a ridiculous amount of money on iridium plugs only to have the electrode break off when gapping them.

What housings will fit? That is a VERY tight space.

I'm VERY interested to know the results. If I could squeeze 600rwhp out of this car with just a $400 housing upgrade, I'm in.

It's fine now, I guess it just needs constant beating. The more I beat on it the harder it grabs. It hasn't slipped at all since before my previous trip to the track. You can't baby these clutches...they thrive on heat and abuse.

What are the plans for the 370???
