I dont see why it would hurt anything, i dont think you will start snapping anything until you have about 4 times the torque. It might wear out your leg for alittle while, but you should be able to slip the clutch without too much trouble and take off normally. As for launches, isnt that the point, no slippage from the clutch?

Either the clutch slips, the tires slip, something breaks or the car moves. If you want the car to move as quickly and efficiently as possible then you fix the other things.

that setup should work without any problems, plus youll already have a good clutch and flywheel if you upgrade your engine.

Fd needs pull to push converter for os type twin plate.

I have had a cusco twin plate in my fd for over a year now had no problems and its way nicer to drive than a single paddle type any day.
