You read it... Can it be done?



I did it in my GSR... But I only had 290ish HP, not 400 something...



Will it work? I'm sure I'd benefit from a nice light one, but is it necessary?



AGAIN, thanks!

Not sure of the clutch yet. Looking for recommendations. Vosko gave me a no-go at the Clutch Masters one....



Maybe a ACT?

I've got ACT, Unorthodox and Centerforce, I do not list the ACT as our sponsors sell them and I try not to sell the same items they do.

I was thinking of going Centerforce, I have heard "mixed" reviews on the ACT clutches.

I've used centerforce before and liked them a lot. But it was in N/A applications where there wasn't real big power.



I'm still researching... And I'll for sure support here if I can!

I have the ACT and love it. I don't drag race though(yet). However this is the first stick I've had in like 6 years and I've been beating the **** out of it for over a year now and it still kicks ***.

I only here good things about ACT on rx7's. Maybe its the low torque. With a stock flywheel, go 6 puck.
