32 or 34mm ?
w/ tool ? no tool?
Monty,

I think he would have sent you the 34mm as most cars run that size. As for what all is in the shipment I will have to check with Nathan. I am sure you know I am overseas serving this Great Nation of ours so if I shipped it from here it would take a long time to get to you.

And he just sent me MSM, So you are looking at the tool and the clutch.

btw the clutch looks sweet jason and nate

i like the clutch shoe material

clutch seems very easy to use , installation is very quick ( using the tool), i would definitely suggest buying the tool with the clutch , springs are fairly consistent and build of the clutch looks to be of good quality .

Monty,

We are glad you like the clutch so far. We look forward to hearing your feedback after you have had a cance to run it. I dont know the conditions but we always recomend to start with 4 1.0 spring. If the track is to loose go down from there. If it has a ton of traction go up from there. On mine I love it with 2x1.0 and 2x.90 springs. But my track could be way diffrent.

Jason

Hey Monty,

I am lookingto get a nova engine from you, I need to learn to tune correctly, I am going to put it in a 8 2.0. I will be racing in the sportsman class, I have been looking at the Plus 4, but do you think that would be the best engine for my application. I am racing at Rev in So Cal

Glad you like the clutch Monty. Just a note to everyone else. The production units we sell are all black anodizing, I just sent Houston a red one I had remaining from some past samples. Let us know what you think once you get it on the track, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

PS. I run on a high traction indoor clay track and run 2x 1.0 and 2x 1.1 springs lately. Nate.

Adam races at rev a lot so ya I would say that would be a great choice!!! You will have great support .

As far as learning how to tune ? That comes with a lot of paying attention , questions asked and getting in good with a local nova guy or a good all around
Tuner . Just let me know if you need anything.
