Most people on the board are using the ACT clutch I'm using the ACT HDSS set up on the H and its fine holds everything that i throw at it, the XTSS should be fine for you. Shop around I think i got mine set up for just over 300 shipped

ACT XTSS with lightened flywheel for 250 a few years back.. the shop quoted me the wrong price on paper and had to sell to me for that price. no slippage although i'm only running max 6 psi right now.

yeah.. my flywheel was lightened to 12lbs and its a huge difference. when i first put it in, i was stalling all the time the revs definately drop faster. they say you lose some torque because of the lightened flywheel but the capability to rev faster balances that out. i think that makes sense... but anyways i dont think you'll be able to find it for 250 anywhere. the shop that sold it to me just made a mistake and sold it to me at dealer cost.

yeah i used to work at a local shop and we marked up some stuff as high as 200%! on the average its about 50% though. the owner was a little tight fisted and cheap, i guess thats why he went out of business.. but dealer prices are pretty low, maybe i should apply for a business license .. hrmmmmmmm
