-hallman mbc
-header
-3 in turbo back
-tien lowering springs

looking into turbo and injecters for next upgrades.
also a new fmic.

any ideas for me. thanks.

 

You could run a stage one clutch since your around stock numbers. If you plan to beef up the HP then go with a stage 3 clutch. 6 puck clutch work good. Also depends on drivability, so if you want a smooth engaging clutch, get the exedy OEM clutch. If you want it to engage quick and firm then go stage 1 or higher and 6 puck. So it all depends on your needs and wants.

 

thanks that helps a lot, what about a sprung or unsprung?

 

Get sprung. Clutch lasts longer I believe and doesn't bit as hard but you do loose a small amount of torque, but smoother and easier engaging.

 

Thanks for the help guys, this makes my choice a lot easier.

 

Heh, you're actually taking to just one guy.

If you do this, you can read about clutches for days. FWIW, I run an HDSS on a ~300whp car and I don't dislike it. Good luck.
