Clutch Advice needed !!!

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Adrian-
You have some issues that concern me:

Ti valves AND guides???  Someone has given you bad advice or is lying to
you. It's never a good idea to have two identical materials wearing against
one another.

300-400HP? Optimistic, probably way optimistic.  Unless you are running
about 25lbs boost....

So, you spend $6500 on the engine and now want a trans for cheap?  If you
end up putting out even half that 400hp, you'd better have the best gearbox
money can buy, cause you will find every weak link in the drivetrain....

There is more, much more, to a reliable, high-torque car than a large-number
motor.

Just a word of caution, that's all.
Have a good time.

Larry
