Yes, sounds like flywheel cant handle power especially with new gears..its trying to play catch up...I ended up going with a C4 because of the same problem...could never get times under 7.5's with a 5 speed...dropped over half a second with a C4 and stall in my 97 4v in the 8th.

Do you plan to keep it a stick shift car? Seems like you race more than most of us and surely you could do a trans swap and drop a full second.

Yea
Will stay 5spd. Like rowing dem gears. Ha

Trust me, I don't race much at all right now.
Dont want race car. Just fun car i can drive and tKe to track w/out swapping anything.

[Rafa]

looking at around 500 for new flywheel and new hydraulic throwout bearing.

Thinking of trying to do it myself, but haven't decided if I want to take it back to Noah.

Not anytime soon. Afraid to see if flywheel messed up the clutch. I doubt it, but till i take it, won't know. I might jack everything up on blocks and attempt to do it myself. But that won't be till later. Like what was said above, I think flywheel just got hot. When I left and on way home, not one issue. Everything grabbed like nothing ever happened.

[Mr.281ci]

Ya it sounds like it just got hot. I might be going this Sunday.. not 100% on it yet.

Car is looking good! What tires are you running?

S197s can suffer from the clutch fluid overheating. I've seen this used as a way to address it:

Its a tarp, haha!

No trap, I still haven't done anything to it. I keep thinking I'll spend the coin on a Cobra Jet intake and some headers, but then I say to hell with it...

[Rafa]

Will be awhile now
Need to save up for new clutch/flywheel and hydro pilot bearing

With this new setup, I should hit 7.6

My best was 7.7 w/4.30's

I waited until the warranty was up, but I am very happy with the BOSS intake, Steeda CAI and Steeda tune. Only other MOD is a Cobra axle back set of mufflers. I'm saving for an aluminum DS and then maybe Koni stuts and shocks.
It feels pretty fast with just these MODS, probably a high 12's as it sits.
