204 HP at 4,000 RPM is 268 foot pounds, at 1,000 RPM 1,071 foot pounds. The maths is still the same.

Also you will have a hard time knowing the flywheel torque on an aussie dyno they just arent set up that way here.

Also just get an extreme or exedy HD for your stock flywheel, get the flywheel machined also and call it a day.

Engine dyno would be cool yo.

Yeah, I'm looking up pricing options for it Dann. Sending off emails contact requests is oh so much fun.

Just go to ebay and buy an exedy or extreme heavy duty.

Done.

Bootz,

Actually if you are being a pedantic academic, chalk is the accepted spelling.

I am sure that she meant CHALK, but in her heavy European accent it was chaulk. Hence the reference to weapon.

I was quite happy to have the chaulk aimed in my direction and that will teach me to pay attention.

I can just remember ink pots and pens with nibs that you dipped in. Certainly never had a slate. Then it was fountain pens and blotter and if you were truly upmarket you had a Parker 51. No calculators until the end of my school years but we did use the biro. The latter invention was quite remarkable marking the end of the fountain pen as a daily used item. Another common projectile was the duster- I think these were all felt so not much chance of injuring Johnny too much but today it would probably be a sacking offence.

I remember the duster as well as getting lifted by the hair on your temple...

Has anyone used the Xtreme clutch kit that Dann linked? I know Mania offers the same ones.

Any sort of information on clutch pedal effort over stock, noise/chatter/engagement feel, etc?

They will hold more power than you know what to do with.

Somewhere in the realm of 4x the factory hp.
