    clutch question

    i just had an 8lb fidanza flywheel installed and a stage 3 gripforce clutch...some ebay crap...but ive noticed that it revs quick and i feel no more clutch slippin but it dont seem like that clutch grabs hard...could that be cause it aint broke in yet?? so does that mean i should just take it easy for a few hundred miles?? then if so how longs it take to break in and how does a disc and a pressure plate break in anyway..just curious...thanks yall

    Generally you wanna break it in for at least 100 miles. But also, you may have some air in your lines. Have someone bleed them and see if that improves your grip

            it sounds like the clutch materials aren't high quality but i have no experience with an 8lb. flywheel. but as long as its not slipping, I would just get used to the different feel.

                  just don't cruise on it. that's not the way to put "miles" on it. the clutch isn't working if the car is just at a constant speed. go through city streets where shifting gears is necessary but don't put too much strain in the clutch such as hanging on an incline for too long. sound like you got a nice combo there. when it breaks in, you'll notice the better grab.

                    well also usually a heavier duty clutch grabs harder because it i made for more torque capacity, now i think that is what u r asdking, but ya, break it in and see how it feels after that.. also, mine is a ACT SS disc with a Xtreme pressure plate and then a fidanza 8lbd`r... so mine revs quick and grabs super hard, i can spin through second and chirp third nice and loud now!!!! yes!!!!
