i just did my ACT clutch too and there are some noises to. it might be just the breakin. i have 200 miles on mine to and the noise i get is upon cold startup. once warm it goes away. this might be normal as of what i am told. just follow your breakin procedures and you should be fine.

i havent launched mine or taking off hard but i do get on it from time to time to while the car was already rolling. it grabs hard and and doesnt let go lol.

BTW that was a good price on that clutch kit!

try readjusting the pedal it isnt to hard to do www.evomoto.com has instructions on how to do it.

i think the noise has to do with the material of the clutch.

i am sure it's adjustment. when cruising shifting trough gears the noise never happens. only when the car is at a halt then moving
