^ sell your clutch...now that its still new you can sell it faster then get a better ones. Just my .02 so you would save labor fee and not to pulled it out twice.

Can I ask you why 2.3? Are you planning on road racing/autox?coz if its for drag you should just stick with 2.0 thats just my opinion.

i went 2.3 because i found a good deal on it and i like the added torque and faster spool. im not going to be doing much of either i just want a bad *** daily driver, that will be fairly reliable now hopefully i havent thought about doing that with the clutch i might consider that if i could sell the clutch without losing my ***
