However they never asked me to get on a dyno or anything like that so not sure where they are getting their numbers from.

After having the device for a few weeks I sent them some feedback etc.. and never heard from them again. After installing the SC I don't really have a use for it in the Z, so its going to go in the Cube.. That 1.8L needs all the help it can get.
I'm definitely interested in a tune that gets rid of the throttle lag, w/o tweaking the scaling on the throttle pedal. Does anyone know if the uprev tuners can do the same?

the stock clutch can take plenty of abuse. I had about 100+ track launches on mine when I pulled it out. And I usually launch at 4000 to 4500 rpm. and for what it's worth it had about 26k miles on it when i pulled it out.

I still have that stock clutch too, sitting in storage. Jnaut (who did the install of my 2010 clutch and jwt flywheel) said it looked still pretty good. and it also drove pretty well when i replaced it.
