No suggestions here on the wiring harness...

On the clutch though, popular opinion seems to point to nothing above a stage III clutch if you plan on streeting the car regularly.

I know, "cleaner does not mean faster", but I believe it means "easier to maintain" and probably more reliable.

And as other already mention, "details matter" Wink

I personnaly believe "stage 3" is a little bit to much and pretty hard on the transmission.

The new V8 flywheel arrived today. Smiley

More expensive than expected (~450$), but it is new, and safer than a "home made". Makes me feel more confortable when I think about this heavy thing spinning at 4000 RPM at 12 inches of my back.  Wink
