Guest Guests Posted 18/11/08 11:50 PM Share Posted 18/11/08 11:50 PM You'd be stupid to get rid of the AP in my opinion. Just upgrade the plates & get a Nizpro Flywheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianThe car will mainly be used for dyno days but I will be taking it to the strip to see what it can do. I dont want something that may not last so I'd rather go over kill than have issues down the line. How good are the Ozgiken clutches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
