1st to 1.762 2nd was nasty bad, I was landing somewhere in the range of 3900 when I shifted, which would cause the car to MEGA bog, and not to mention it just sucked for daily driving. Had the rev the car pretty high in 1st in order to get a decent shift into 2nd. The new gearing however, wow, it's great. The shorter 3rd and stock 2nd really completes the transmission, just makes the car feel so much more sporty.
If you're looking for a clutch, I'm definitely going to suggest the Action line. They've been making clutches for longer than CM, ACT, etc, and they're damn good at it. The Action 2MD has a great feel to it, it's good and solid yet it isn't like an on off switch. It grabs hard but doesn't grab harsh, and best of all, the damn thing doesn't slip.

Is this the kind of clutch that leaves your leg sore at the end of the day? Let us know howit holds at325-350 or whatever you end up with.

RE: Sov's Build
would it be possable to get exactly what gearing you used for the whole transmission, and from what car/transmission and/or website?

I wish that HeyMikey kid would come in here and read this. He stated that, "D series are a waste of time."
Amazing by the way.

RE: Sov's Build
Page 14 is amazing 
this is one of the best projects i've ever seen, for real. The ramhorn looks so sick, well i guess the whole turbo setup, along with the valve cover and oil lines just look amazing. And those are just looks, not to mention the internals and how much pwoer that things gonna be pushin. Is 18 PSI what your gonna be runnin when all is said and done? Cant wait for vids [8D]The paragraph that started with HOLY SH*T! was awesome btw 
kinda summed everything up and i'm glad eveyrthing came together so good
