Worth 125 dollars to have pressure plate lightened?

SKYWLKR · 11-27-2001, 10:04 PM

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,

You better have a bullet proof bell housing.

Chris, you would be a good kindergarden teacher- hell you could teach a monkey how to do a cam swap

i would defintately spend the money somewhere else. looks like you'd pick up quite a bit of power with a T/B with that vortech
