I think I might be going Spec Stage 2 with a Fidanza flywheel... dunno yet.

That is the other option I am considering, I think either will be fine but I am waiting to see how this one handles the SC when RCZ gets that in.

At 600+ tq I think it won't break a sweat!

RCZ · 05-19-2010, 12:57 PM

No problem guys, rep much appreciated.

As far as holding the supercharger..as much as I wish i could say that it would have problems at 600+tq capability, it definitely wont.

RCZ · 05-19-2010, 04:35 PM

No worries, it happens. Yeah, I will personally test fit everything before it goes into production

I'm going to get on their case about it again to see if we can get some dates.

Great review on the clutch RCZ...now you've gone and torpedoed another one of my paychecks

RCZ · 05-19-2010, 06:06 PM

we aim to please

Surprisingly I get that a lot haha.

Good review, Raul, thanks. You know I've gone down this path and I agree with everything you said... different mfgr, but same story... big improvement over stock in terms of feel... for really fast gear changes there is also a real benefit to the rapid accel/decel

RCZ · 05-20-2010, 09:02 AM

Thanks Travis! How heavy is your clutch btw?

travisjb · 05-20-2010, 11:58 AM

actually, not heavy at all... jwt

I mean as in pedal feel.

travisjb · 05-20-2010, 12:58 PM

I got that... that's what what I meant... to me, the firmness / feel of the pedal with the JWT clutch is largely consistent with OEM... it sounds like yours turned out stiffer... you can take mine for a spin someday if we ever end up at the same track and judge for yourself

RCZ · 05-20-2010, 02:20 PM

That would be fun. Thanks for the info Travis. Yeah a little stiffer, but still perfectly daily drivable.

after driving raul's car that is the clutch that will be going in mine, the prussure is perfect, quailty is good

Awesome, you know something. I don't know if I got used to it or something, but it feels like it has settled in a bit and the pedal effort is perfect now. Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase and would recommend it. I would like to see how it behaves with another 150whp, I think it will be perfect.
