Good luck and happy hunting. What kind of boost are you planning on running? If your thinking of running 10-15psi you may want to go ahead and install a clutch now. I ran my stock one for about a year w/ 13psi but it finally gave up the ghost. You should be able to run the stock one for a little while if your not running alot of boost. Look forward to helping anyway I can. Later.

Right now I plan to only boost about 8-9lbs. just to break the car and system in. I was wanting to do a brake upgrade first before the clutch, is that a good idea or our stock brake systems good enough to handle the extra speed I'll be doing?
Thanks for your help Joe.

...but you should do the brake upgrade, a slipping clutch will wear on your nerves quick though. Anthony and I were going against a 3281c and were smoked because of his slipping clutch. As soon as it bit we were QUICKLY catching up to him but by then we hit a light, so technically we LOST. Even though we would've KILLED'em

he had 10psi on stock internals BTW with some shot rings.
