yeah of course haha, i didntn mean to compare the mustang to my car, just saying i felt a stage 2 in a civic and in a focus and they felt similar and figured more people have probably felt a stock mustang clutch rather than a stage 2 aftermarket :lol:

A smarter idea would be to build your car first to be able to handle all these power that you won't be able to put down to the wheels.

either way the car wont be done till everything is done and done correctly and safe regardless of the order....everything has been taking into account for the power im looking to get...first thing on my mind for this car is safety weather i want 200 or 300hp
