It will live on the street,.. but then why pay the coin for such a clutch when a Spec 3 or DFX clutch will live just as long on the street? Its like buying a TKO 600 for a stock 2v GT. Yeah it will never break,.. but why?

Definately, thats why i was asking his power levers...again i have no experiance w/ t45's, and yes and can tell you from personal experiance they also suck driving on the street ie: the damn tires would spin by just TRYING to drive. All i was saying is they are worth the money WHEN the power is there, like you said the tranny wi,l break before and the damn things are so damn expensive.

I also had a friend w/ a Civic hatchback with a 700+hp Garrett 42r powerd 2.0L w/ a twin disc talk about a SHITTY street driver

Good luck on your adventers to the OP and Hurst, you Def know your shit
