I think you'll be VERY please with the results!!! Just remember that the 300-500mile BREAKING IN period will have a HUGE affect on how your clutch performs and lasts. If you don't break it in and start getting on the car hard or doing high RMP gear changes during the break in period, it could very likly cause it to slip. Once it starts slipping you start scaring the flywheel and the clutch looses it's tenatiouse gripping power!<p>- It is WORTH the break in period of 300-500miles of stop-n-go traffic!!!!!

Has anyone used any of the unorthodox racing clutches? They also have a lightened flywheel. I was just wondering peoples opinions of these clutches. Apparently they just started making sprung hub clutches, so I guess people might not have used there previous unsprung units for fear of destoying there transmission. They use kevlar clutches for 2WD cars, and have several stages. Incase anyone is wondering there website is

So should I run as little boost as possible for those first 3-5 hundred?

I'd say your probably better off runing the stock wastgate setting. It would be easier on the clutch, esecially in an emergancy situation if you had to punch it to avoid an accident!
