Re: SPEC clutches A++
I can see that happening. They are very tough clutches. It sounds like you didn't need the SPEC Stage 3. You probably should of had something like the Stage 1 or 2.

Re: Stiffer springs or not?
Yeah, I have been told I need a stiffer spring up front but with a 1.40 60 ft. I wasn't complaining. I just hope the switch will get me in the 1.3 range. Thanks

Re: clutch and flywheel
I bought the VERY lightweight crank. It is super secret and very few are running it. The less bolts you have to use, the lighter the setup. :metal:
