recommended? I've had experience with the spec2+lwfw and the chatter was minimal at most. Ari runs spec3+lwfw and I *know* he'd complain if it wasn't working right(in addition to the fact that he uses his car harder than almost anyone here). So is it just chatter issues? Doesn't seem to be a robustness issue(Ari).

Yes...there's a reason I want the holding power...soon.

Default But I rarely get the answers out in the open! Seriously the archives were useless, there's

no technical descriptions. So does the spec3 chatter more or have release probs. since it lacks a marcel spring(good info I got from someone I respect and trust!!), or something else?

I'm definitely using a lwfw, so I want the best clutch I can get to abuse. AWE's clutch is a mystery, I don't know anyone with it except the Bullet. He started damaging it pretty quickly, but maybe that was during the nitrous experiments? I dunno?

Troy.. We really need to speak over e-mail about light weight flywheels.
