I use a 3500lb pressure plate which is over kill, but i LOVE the way it grabs!

2800lb IMO is good.

[QUOTE]SureShot=Shane at www.rotaryworks.com got me a really nice pressure plate.[QUOTE]


NICE ! ! SETUP hows the flywheel compare to the stock???

Also how many pounds is the pressure rated at? Does it have dual splines?

I wish I knew the specs.

What I see is at low power it's quite gentle.
Reving in neutral, low revs seem the same, but above 4K it speeds up much faster.
The light flywheel & disc make double pedal down shifts faster without loosing smoothness.

At mid to higher power, the gentle is gone & it jerks.
On high boost I get 10-11 PSI. Nailing 2nd at 5500 will kick it a little sideways.
I'm used to rev matching on shifts, but if I deliberately over rev a shift and dump the clutch, I get a 1/4 second grunt as it clamps.
I expect that too much of that will break the front diff mount.

Edit-PS: The diaphragm leverage on that pressure plate makes the pedal pressure amazingly light.
At first I thought I had forgotten to bleed the clutch.
