aight so you can engage 1st gear at about 1500 rpm, i thought that most couldnt get it till about 3000 rpm??
the 3k was where i needed to shift during the intitial (0-300 miles) break - in period. now its down usually just below 1.5k, sometimes as low as 1k.

so, how can someone race with this damn clutch? wouldnt you be spinnin your tires all the time???
yea if your riding on a hard compound tire, but if you throw some slicks on there, and lower the tire pressure, youll get some good grip, but then your really going to have to worry about your axles getting tore up and the diff. due to the added stickiness of the tires

well, whats the point of having this clutch if you don't race and have slicks? I mean, you keep spinning your tires almost every time you start driving, and then when you go to the track you would just get really bad traction? Am I wrong?

I don't race, I've got that clutch.
It's a good setup all around, and it'll be good for when I get a turbo too.
Once you learn how to drive with a high power clutch like that, you won't spin your tires all the time. Half of it is the Flywheel.

Lightweight flywheels.
Next time you drive, watch your RPM meter. Then imagine it dropping like a rock when you let off the gas.
