Got the exhaust done short of putting on the Power plate. Took it out tonight and wow, what a differance. Redlines so much faster than before. After a couple good launches the damn clutch started slipping bad. Like revving a couple thousand higher than it should when I floor it. Even in 5th. Kinda puts me on the bubble for next weekend. Not sure what I want to do yet as I don't have the $'s right now for a centerforce clutch and I'm not sure that this one is worn out. Maybe just can't hold the power. It may be fine for a few passes if enough time passes in between runs cause it feels like it grabs better when I first start driving.

I WOULD! Flying pistons can cause damage to nearby and semi nearby vehicles also! |
