Default Which Al. FW do you have? This is why I'm not going the RS4 route this time around

Jury is still out on my decision but is down to a Clutchmaster and a Southbend OFE.

Default hmm .. was the SAC propperly adjusted originally ?

almost sounds like it ..or the SAC machanisn doesn't do its job (maybe stuck) or the flywheel step was too high (you can tell that if you look at the clutch PP , the springs are extended all the way and the friction disc is not worn and then of course measure it ) .

Default Yeah, I finally had some time to play around with it.

But still need to do some additional tuning.

The onset of detonation out of box was far past the spike and well into the taper. I'll be posting more on that later.

ECS. I'd recommend a different brand. Steve's reluctor ring exploded and he had to eat the labor.

Default Dual mass FW's make me cry. I love my gear chatter!

The engine just feels so light and airy with my LWFW though

Default Yeah, I backed it off the entire way. The only thing I can think of is the TOB was .100 or so thinn

er than the other... but I figure that's a non issue. It just seems as if I'm not getting enough fork/TOB travel to cause the SAC to pop to the next step.
