Save yourself the hassle and ditch the heavy duty CSC. Buy the Zspeed elimination kit. I have it on my car

Friend of mine had two HD kits fail and he's NA. The Z1 CSC. Elimination is a nice option but requires constant adjustment and that's what I just got rid of. I'm super happy with it so far. I have a very similar set up to you

The adjustment of the Z1 kit was a no go for me. A properly designed hydraulic system should not need adjusting. When was the last time you had to adjust your brakes????

My 1977 Fiat Spider has a cable clutch that needs adjusting about every 10K miles, but that is old technology.......

The Zspeed HD CSC has been a reliable performer. No problems with mine.

What you NEED is the ZSpeed CMAK.

Man this build is almost identical to my mine except I went with FI 3" TT TDX CBE, and a CJM Fuel System.

I really want to replace the factory gauges to some real meaningful gauges but don't really want to spend another $1K on new gauges/sensors.

Fuel system up-grade isn't on the list & CJM is a great choice;
be sure & go all stainless if you plan to tune E-85 or similar.
A nice air-air cooler & consider a good pair of oil catch can's (properly routed),
I've heard stories of sending boost to the crankcase....not good.

I would highly suggest getting the CJM fuel top hat upgrade for your build. The stock top hat (plastic trash) is a terrible design and for sure will fail.

the TT kit comes with the High-Flow Walbro 255 Liter Per Hour Fuel Pump....is that going to be enough or were you thinking that I should upgrade that as well?

oil catch can is later down the line when I get the funds...have to much going on right now with the initial build

What brand/model gauges are you getting for these? And do you have to get any additional sensors?

What are your power goals? Do you plan to go E85?

Depending on ur power goals the 255 may not be enough...especially if ur planning to run E85 that the Walbro 255 that comes with the kit won't cut it. With that fuel set up u will be limited. If u plan on upgrading ur fuel system then get with Charles at CJM.

As far as the HD CSC and CMAK I've used both...The CMAK was available when I first ordered from ZSPEED PERFORMANCE. as they came out with the CMAK later. After 2 yrs and upgrading to FI...my ACT SS clutch started to slip and couldn't hold. I ended upgrading my clutch and flywheel where the CMAK was offered. Let me say that when I pulled the HD CSC out it was worn and also took a beating. This is expected as its internal in the drive train and takes a lot of heat. If I reused it i wouldve had fo purchase a rebuild kit.

The CMAK design is on the exterior of the tranny for easier access and is cheaper to rebuild when changing clutches/flywheel combos. After 6 months and a few weekend runs at the drag strip the CMAK has performed like a champ.
