Now to the good stuff, the clutch isnt on yet, its getting ordered, but Joe at Z speed, is (to put in good terms) the man. The guy knows everything and breezed through all my questions with no hesitation lol, so ontop of the clutch kit im getting the CMAK csc eliminator kit, will update on how everything goes and how the clutch performs, weather its too stiff, good, great, the noise, witch is a big one for alot of you guys. See you in a week
Awesome, I always enjoy reading those kind of product reviews! I'm running the SouthBend Stage 3 with lw flywheel and quiet disk option + CMAK, very similar to your setup. It's a good clutch, though definitely more noisy than stock at low RPMs (fine for me, bothers the wife a little bit). Has a very good bite to it, grabs and clamps exactly the way I want it to. Way more firm than stock, but very streetable IMO.
