Worth 125 dollars to have pressure plate lightened?
I am getting a spec clutch and al. fly wheel. would it be worth the extra 4 lbs the lighting of the pressure plate would give?
do you think it would detract form the safty of it?(holes drilled and other metal taken away) I have a very light car 2950 W/O driver I'm 140 lbs.would the other 100-125 be better spent on a non expendable(IE. TB, ditch the slowmaster mufflers?)

It's your ankles that are going to get cut off if it fails, you tell me.
Take care, -Chris

You better have a bullet proof bell housing.
