Sean -

Have you modified the intake as well? Larger bore MAF, etc?

Thanks
Clark


Dropped in a Centerforce dual-friction clutch and the Racing Dynamics headers on Thursday. Here are my impressions so far:
The clutch is very smooth and takes much less effort to engage than my old stock clutch with the worn pressure plate.
The headers didn't drop in directly. There was a little cutting and welding that had to be done. Since the clutch isn't broken in yet I haven't been able to push the car and tell what kind performance increase has occurred. In terms of sound, all I can hear differently is the valvetrain clicking away under full throttle.
I'll give a full report once the clutch has seated itself.
