The shaking will go away. A new clutch will often feel softer than a used clutch.

I forgot that your test pipes don't use the OEM exhaust hangers, so nevermind.

Yes, you can remove the AIV eventhough your ecu isn't upgraded.

With the tranny in the car, that fuel leak will be a b*tch to fix. It's really not in a good place either,...right by the headers. Fuel + very high temps = a bad combination.

 

i have a question....why did u opt for the 6 puck? I have heard that they due hold better, but are notorious about diggin into thwe flywheel and screwin up the surface.

AND YEAH..why did he put it on the radiator suport again? Dude u might want to try closin your hood. It may not fit properly anymore..that radiator support is also attached to your hood latch.
Where did he jack the car up at?

 

the car was jacked up on...yep you guessed it...the radiator support with a 4x4 block of wood on the jack to push up across the support. the jacks are on the tension rod supports. i cant tell any difference in the hood closing.

i didnt opt for the 6-puck to begin with...tspperformance did not have the ACT or RPS street clutches in for some reason, so they reccommended the RPS spring hub 6-puck, saying that it will be a little more harsh than a street disc. truthfully, i dont know why i did it, i kinda wish i did and didnt now. but i still got it cheaper or about the same than if i woulda bought an ACT or RPS street clutch from any other site i looked at. plus it holds 60 more tq, even though i will never need it.

ive never heard anything about it tearin up the flywheel

im right about at 150 miles on it, its calmed down a bit. gettin a little smoother
i took it to 5k rpms a few tonight...i got a little anxious and couldnt hold it back
definately need to calm down again before i break something

 

just broke 200 a little bit ago

i went back and tightened up my exhaust bolts and searched for an exhaust leak this evening. it turns out, the drivers test pipe flange, where it meets the x-pipe, is warped, and i have a gap in the middle. im pretty sure it wasnt there the first time i put them on since i had no noticeable exhaust leak from there.

 

Have you looked at that fuel leak yet? Stop driving until that leak is addressed. PLEASE!

 

yea, i looked up at enough that i wish i would have noticed it before the night when we had the tranny prepped and ready to load.
ill try to get up there more tommorrow when i am pulling the aivs out.
