Damn, finally found this thread. I've seen Kracka's car first hand and helped him a time or two before he left Minnesota. All of his mods are certainly doable on almost any budget.

Its a good idea if you're modded with increased boost over stock levels.

thanks for your opinion
I definitely recommend the clutch fork stopper, it is a smart idea for anyone running a pull-type clutch (even stock). The SS clutch line would be an ok mod, but I honestly don't see it making any different unless you're running a really heavy pressure plate like the ACT 3200. Do it if you feel like spending the money and time, but if you do skip the Works line and just get the Technafit line since its the same thing only cheaper (you can special order any color you want at no additional cost).

^thanks for the prompt response,
if I do the "clutch line pill" mod, will we be in the same neighberhood where it will make sense to just do the clutch line as well or not even bother?

There is no pill in the clutch line, it is inside the clutch slave cylinder. Removing that pill doesn't make you even touch the factory rubber line since you just have to remove the hard metal line from the slave.

I'm trying to keep this thread to only things I've actually tried and can vouch for, but I can assure you once I get any of those and like them they'll be added to the thread. I've been eyeing up that ACD reflash quite a bit lately though and think either that or a lightweight driveshaft will be my next mod.

Removing the restrictor pill isn't a tough job; it can definitely be a messy one with all the brake fluid dripping to put a pan under the car and have some towels ready.
