It shakes the whole car backing out from the driveway, LOL. Its definitely a lot of clutch. Not for the faint of heart or left leg.

I want one, but damn its pricey. Most likely worth it, but I don't have the cash.

It is pricey but you get quite a bit for those$$$$ . Flywheel , throwout bearing , clutch pressure plate , install tool . The entire assembly is balanced and matched , too.

I ran the RAM 6130 disc, and 402 pressure plate in my SS, along with a resurfaced flywheel, and a Mcleod Billet Adj. Master Cyl. with the drill mods, and an updated GM slave. Although that set-up was very agressive, it still lasted over 70K miles, and was holding just as strong when I sold it, at the power it was making, as it was when I first installed it, with nothing more than bolt-ons. Needless to say, my left calf muscle looks pretty damn good!!

The 10 bolt has already been hurt at the track...3.73s in there now. All the 9 inch stuff is here, I just have to set the gears up and then install the assembly.

5 launches in one day on Nittos and the 10 bolt started howling like mad...my first time to the track with the M6 too.
