lol sorry - I remembered the whp but took a quick glance at your dyno for the tq.

Will you be going with CM or CC on the twin-disc?

i havent decided yet. it all depends on price, and if ptuning is coming out with that modular unit the were beta testing on there t/a tc for exedy or whoever it was. also depends on how well i do at the poker room this week.

About the clutch inquiry, we have tested the Exedy Twin @ at both CMP and E-Town RTA Events and the clutch performed flawlessly without a single issue.

After the initial break-in, the engagement of the twin disc set-up was darn near OEM pedal pressure and engagement feel.

Although the price may seem high, it is still a fair amount cheaper compared to other twin plate's available for the TC but do not even compare in quality and performance of the Exedy unit in my honest opinion. Like some say, "You gotta pay to play".

car feels scary fast. the aem ems is the best way to go in my opinion. (and please do not turn this thread into a which standalone is the best debate people) the car starts pulling hard left and right when i have it wide open. i really don't feel safe driving it on the street.

yeah, that's a little much for a clutch. i don't constantly track my car like you guys. i just cant see spending that much on a clutch. i just need something to hold the power when i feel like using it. my friend aj got a clutchmasters twin disc from you guys. his car should be done real soon and will be making at least as much power as me. so i think im just gonna wait and see how well that one works before i spend an extra $400 on a exedy.

bfg g-force sport. with alot of miles on them. as far as standalone. get whatever your tuner is more knowledgeable on, which with luigi i would guess is hydra.

it will still spin tires with ease if you just mash on it right away. i've figured out how to modulate the throttle so i can get the most power to the ground without spinning tires an absurd amount.

i will be installing them at my friends work (goodyear) tomorrow morning. i'll let you guys know how well they perform. just from how bald my old tires are, im sure the difference will be night and day. however i have read many good reviews on them, and they rank #1 in the ultra high performance catagory on tirerack.com.

KDW's arent even in the azenis or direzza sport categories. the kdw are 300 threadwear thats why i never bought them. unless you buy the kdw drag radials.
hey bret how much was the tires shipped?
