Everybody-If I'm not going to race this car, is there any reason why I'd really need the protection of a Lakewood, Quicktime, or McLeod. The Tremec I believe is one third the weight of the others mentioned above, and much smaller (requires a 10.5 clutch I'm told). I'm really trying to make this car as light as possible (to offset my fat!)

Thanks to all.

keep in mind what everybody says above. there is a factory aluminum bellhousing available for the tremec tko series or t5, they are different. i'm using same with aluminum flywheel and lightweight pressure plate from quartermaster that weighs total i think 17 lbs., if this blows it is still gonna hurt.

i dropped a 3550 for a t5 = 30 lbs.
scattershield for aly bellhousing = 33 lbs.
clutch change = 10 or 15 rotating wt.

like the man says, you roll the dice. course i ride a motorcycle and piss off the back porch too. what would really suck is if you took somebody else's legs out.

good luck.
