Just wanted to pass along how great these guys are:

We, and I use that term loosely with my limited help, installed a cam and clutch in my car Sat.....well, into Sunday for Glenn and I. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Started Sat morning 8:30am, Mitch showed up a little later and jumped in. We stopped for lunch for about an hour and got back after it. Mitch headed out around dinner time (can't blame him) and Glenn and I, again my limited help, got the job finished around 1:45am Sunday. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
.....the extreme amount of time was due to her being a "virgin" and a running into a snag at almost every corner

Just a little insite:
Mitch drove a long way just to help on a weekend day.....and spent most of the day there.
Glenn spent Friday night prep'ing the car and then spent all that time working on MY car and then charged me less then what we discussed. On top of all that, this guy has a little girl......if you have one, then you understand what I mean when I bring that up.

This is just to thank them both once again for their services. If you EVER need an install done these guys are great and anal.....in a good way (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

James, I don't see a "Dirt" forum on this site.

Haha I laughed outloud here at work on that one.

Andrew you are fast enough on the track, you don't need more power! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I have a nice aluminum restrictor plate I would like to sell you. It will make your car more easily controlled when powering out of corners and what not. Let me know if you want to make a deal. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I "whimped" out and went with the TR220.
I don't know that I want to deal with the "characteristics" of a larger one.....I still driver her on the weekends (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Kyle
Thanks for the offer but I don't need that "mod" quite yet.
.....and don't think that I haven't read about all the things that you've done to your car. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

He sure did......DAMN HIM ! ! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That monster of his is, in a word, AWSOME.
Now I see why a few others that have purchased the same cam as I and have made the statement "I should've gone bigger"........we'll see (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

As for the clutch, I chose the the Spec III after a lot of thought and research, and I actually was going with their lightweight flywheel as well until I "stumbled" on to the Fradenza (sp?)....didn't research the flywheel
....I will reserve my final thoughts until the full 500 mile break in.
- 60 miles and counting !
