    ya, you're right, until you put that traction to the ground you'll be fine, it's just a chain of events though, you get something stronger and the weaker parts start to break,

    good choice on the clutch,

    SPEC (Star Performance Engineered Clutches - thats just a guess)

    aluminum flywheel was another $179 with a lightweight clutch pack optoin for another $79. i went with steel cuase its a 4000lb truck at least...needs a little beef in there for strength
