I honestly have not. EPA is here as a group of 4 this week, and they were here all last week, of which I worked 78 hours and had a 36 hour shift. I have my tuning computer with me tonight so I will try to get to it tonight, I will probably be here until friday lol.Also there are 2 engineers here from the grill man's place of employment.. There are only 3 of us to to keep them occupied.

I have new found respect for the pres., I did hear him make say at one point before he became president that he would go in and kill bin laden where ever he was. This is something I didn't appreciate until I read this story.

I suspect that I may be shopping for a clutch in the not too distant future, and I'm trying to figure out what the best options are these days.

I would be looking for something that
  • Can hold 400wtq
  • Doesn't have to be drag-race ready (won't be lauched)
  • Clutch/Flywheel combo that costs under/around $1000 (Exedy twin not really an option)
  • durable, could last 50k+ miles

I don't think that I would want an ACT. Someone recommended SPEC, but I've been reading a lot of negative experiences associated with them. Right now I'm looking at the Clutch Masters FX300.

Any thoughts?

^ Yep, they didn't actually know he was there, they thought it was him, but weren't 100%. The Pres took a chance and it payed off. Can you imagine being in that situation room, all them watching the whole thing unfold in real time from cameras mounted on the SEAL's? Thats some crazy ish!

too bad that footage will never be released. must have been some tense moments for sure.

I got the fx300. not at 400whp tho. 330 wtq been about 40k miles of some racing, and DD duty an spirited driving. not sure your time frame, but i will be up there in a few weeks, more than welcome to take her for a spin if you wana get a feel for the clutch. got that and a LW flywheel for a steal.

txt me later if you want. heading into a meeting

I have the FX200 waiting to go in my car. I chose it because of the Kevlar face, it should be able to withstand a decent amount of heat without slipping. I'm going to pair it with a ACT Streetlite. I don't recommend the FX300 if you plan on doing any more track days, CM doesn't recommend it for road racing, something to do with the segmented face...
