I read about the O.S. Giken twin disc with the grand touring spec, and what I read made it sound like it was a little firmer, but not to bad for dd? Does anyone have this clutch?

Would you recommend getting the CSF radiator with the BP kit? I live in Vegas so it gets pretty hot here, just wondering if it is worth it or not.

It definitely cools better. Unfortunately they have a track record for developing leaks. It's still the best option but not a perfect option. I wish we had a full proof radiator option.

I guess I'd recommend trying it and see how the temps hold up and do it later if needed.

I purchased a vented hood as an option of heat management. If I need the csf radiator due to constant rising of temps then I'll get it. But as is I don't plan to be in boost for more than 12 secs (1/4 mile) or a few minutes of spirited driving through the hills.
