Yeah man, drop that after market clutch in. I'm getting an ACT stage 1 clutch with a light weight flywheel on my almost done d-series mini-me swap (DX to SI injection with a D16y8 vtec head) and i'm only gonna be putting out like 175-185. But hey i'm might spray. Do it unless your gonna drop a bigger motor in and you might want a bigger stage clutch.

got to tampa clutch and they'll hook you up with a good clutch that'll hold 400 lbs torque for better than half the price of those others! oh and before all the guys start talking their crap about those clutches, we all run em and love em! they work great!!!!!
and those light flywheels make you loose the lil bit of torque that ya had! lol but that's ok if you're shifting at 9 grand i guess though! lol
