Duncan.....Is your gearbox strong enough to take the strain?
All well and good having a top clutch that can handle shedloads of power but there is only so much torque the gearbox can handle before it lets go.
I know the clutch is there as a safety measure so that goes before the gearboc does (normally) but surely if you had a super strong clutch the gearbox is then in danger of copping it.
I hear PPG do some really good full Synchromesh gears/shafts for the Scooby box.

The 6 speed gearbox is good for well over 500 so should be fine on that.ScoobieWRX wrote:Duncan.....Is your gearbox strong enough to take the strain?
