Gear box is noises but that is from the shifter. Spec clutch is broke in and bites like a trap. I can slip it some but it is all or none at a stop light. The flywheel has some to do with it. At 9 lbs it is quick to rev. up. Very happy with the budget beater. Matt and the turbo he built acts very well with the lower rpm cam. RR. Still a quick little beast.

Come on Lee!

I may go ahead and haul mine out to the shop Sunday

Nice 'lil svo Kerry. Did you use an aluminum flywheel?

Yep you need to light a fire under Lee F. so he will get started on his.....

Matt set me up on the flywheel and clutch. I was afraid at first with it but now I really like it. Still have not done any hole shots but it seems to be just right. I think it is a stage 2 or 3. Been a few years since he got it for me. Has the Kevlar disc.

Remember, if you think the turbo is limiting you, we can swap! I have the 57-trim T04E with the stage 3 turbine (good for 400+ at the tires).
It wakes up around 22 psi but I don't have the motor or fuel for it

...

Yours is the 50-trim Stage 2 turbine.
