you should go back to Nismo or JWT.....unless you want a crazy hp setup.

just talk to Andy@Performance. I can give him a heads up as well to give you some good pricing.

that'd work I guess. But drivability is an issue anyways...with N/A power, you shouldn't sacrafice drivability if you don't need to. Why did you get the Ogura clutch anyways?

It got rid of the idle chatter. It has the silent option.

Not too sure, don't wanna try anymore new stuff I guess lol. I like the characteristics of an unsprung hub clutch actually other than the noise.

Adrian, the nismo clutch is very forgiving and easy to drive. It only took me a day before i got used to the engagement point. I think you should go for Nismo again...and keep your Jun flywheel.

Oh, so that's why no one was at the normal place tonight. Lol. I was making a test run in a '73 F100 with a big block and passed by. I didn't see anyone so I kept rolling.

Catch you guys next time. The Z didn't get much love this week. I'm going to take her on a spin Sat or Sun if I can find a run that doesn't get rained on.
