I did that at first but it felt weird, the weaker spring smoothed it out, I like it better with the weak spring.

has anyone run this kit with a stock clutch? I was thinking of waiting until the stock one gives out before replacing with something beefier.

its just inevitable, plus it is easier to do before the install.

Fixed:tup:

Puckshaw ran the stock (or might still be on the stock clutch) but it isn't/didn't really hold up and he went with the Specialty Z clutch combo if I'm not mistaken.

I've thought about getting the helper spring. I might after the first day I'm stuck in a traffic jam on my way home form work.

theres no way I can install this kit myself I will be paying a shop to do it. How much is a good clutch these days?

This is what I have, Joe said its rated at 550 wtq aiming for the 450 range so I hope it last awhile! Holding the base map hp/tq with 0 issues.

just buy the kit and take ease in knowing you got everything you needed to be boosted ;)

Thanks for the info!

Along with the CSC, you need a new CMC too. It appears the CMC is a one use item. You bleed it down to swap the CSC and it'll eventually fail. Go ahead and count on one of those too. I had mine shipped for like $110.

All in all
CSC - $325
CMC - $110
Fluid - $18
Clutch/Pressure Plate/Flywheel - $700 - $1200 depending on how fancy you get
Labor - $500ish

The one Jlo linked you too would put you at about $2k after install

sounds like I need to save even more money :(

Boost isn't cheap. You'll likely spend the same amount on supporting mods, labor and tune as you did on the kit.

:iagree: Word. I got the receipts to show for it
