Default Guess I know when I will install my new test pipe....

When the new clutch comes in!!!

Driving home tonight, I stomped on it in third gear and watched in horror as the rpms rose rapidly as the mph crawled!! Get it home without any problems as long as I stayed out of boost.

174K on stock clutch.

Looking at the Southbend OFE, since I will be going K04 or BT with the K03 dies.

I want to keep the OE flywheel if it is in good shape.

Anybody want to come down to Savannah to help out, free ber and pizza!!!

Default make sure to get the SS plate and not just the HD

the HD slipped on hard launches w/ PC-16, and definitely won't hold launches with BT setups.
