I am but its so annoying my clutch is glazed after 2 pulls, and the pedal is on the floor. That ace clutch with the centrifugal weights that american muscle sells looks interesting but there are no reviews on it.

Are you slipping it too hard? Or do you mean just after hitting it from a roll?
Don't over clutch the car. I made that mistake and fought the mt82 a lot. Breaking parts. It sucks. A single disc can work just fine. Don't necessarily need a twin disc.

So yesterday I noticed the bmr springs have settled pretty well. And in my opinion, the stance is perfect. Not too much of a wheel gap and not too little with a hell of an aggressive look. Tires are 275/35/19. Even though it's a shitty iPhone pic, I still thought it was cool.

Yeah I felt like the bmr springs didn't sit as low on my white car. I have SCJ springs in the blue car, and I like them a lot better. It'll look better (hopefully lol) when I have the Welds on.

Well got the car tuned yesterday- put down 645@7200 and 479@ 6100- was hoping for a lil more hp & tq. This is at 17 degrees of timing and was reading almost 11psi. got to drive the car about 1 am last night and it is truly a new machine. 5500+ rpm and the power comes on like a run away train. (it was also about 34 degrees out last night) so air temps were crisp. may make the switch to e-85 in a month or so I can keep about the same power level and knock the rpms down a bit to try and keep some life in the engine
