What sort of use is the car going to get?

Do you drive the car with mechanical sympathy or when the red mist drops, does all hell let loose?

What are the normal recommendations from GTO owners? The world of GTR's dictates that you have to go down the route of a twin or paddle beyond 350 lb torque, no idea what the drivetrain on a GTO is like, but I'm sure there are parallels.

Twins don't have to be heavy~ mine uses a standard size cylinder (slave I think) but you can go bigger on this if you want to reduce your effort.

A friend of mine has a twin ATS carbon and swears by it. Its only the rebuild costs that put me off. They cost around
13T's, Greddy E-Manage, Greddy Profec E-01, RC 550's, 3SX fuel reg, Walbro, K&N, Tarox G88's and DS2500's all round, lowered, EGT probe, Intake temp probe, Nomad BOV, Short Shifter, Hella Upgrade, De-Cat, Powerflow Twin Exhaust, TechEdge Wideband Kit.

The single I have is fine for normal driving - but it let's me down on the QTR. Seriously look at twins as you can have a twin that feels like a single with regards weight / snatch.

My OSGIKEN was admittedly like an on / off switch as opposed to a clutch -but I still prefered that to my current single.
Dum spiro, spero
