"what would you recommend"
I usually don't recommend for many reasons but I will tell you to follow the forums and filter the info.
Wheel spin? Front or rear?
First thing is throttle control. Diff fluids are a controlling factor also.
Nova 4c is a smooth motor, so be nice.
Any idiot can put the peddle to the floor.

My buddy runs the 4+c in his trug and I think its a joke. The thing is a limp dick out there. I am super power hungry and run the nastiest power clutch setups. They are great becuase when you need it you got it. Meaning in mid air saves or bobble before jump and you can still clear it. And all the other times when things go my way i'm trained smooth on the throttle. Thats my two sense.

I have had no composite shoes break or wear out quick. I run 2 aluminum with gold prings and 2 plasitc with green springs, My clutch last a really long time, But I do change them every so often.

If you have too much motor for the particular track condition, the clutch is not meant as a primary way of tuning it. Does that make sense????

Man, the composites will actually wear in 2 or 3 tanks? If that's the case then I agree, what a pain in the a**.

By the way, I appreciate all of the comments except for Nova limp dick one, but it was funny!!!

So with all aluminum long wear shoes, will changing from silver/green to gold/green, smooth things out a bit?
