Every time you leave a stop light you'll be slipping the clutch since there will be almost zero torque at anything below 2000 rpm.


I am street driving it now. Just got it all together (the car) and am working out the bugs. It isnt bad from a stop actually. Im sure the 4.10s help that out. but cruising under 3k you feel the lope of the cam, LOL! I can just let the clutch out from idle (1100 rpms) and as long as I go slow the car wont stall. But i do agree its bigger than I need. But it is what I have.

Just wodnering what RPM MAX this should go to.
