Java, thanks for the welcome and advice. I will definitely take it slow, but what does a retired person do. House is done, children are grown, tuna season is over, and wifey likes quiet pusuits.
*Hope this helps...I don't mean to interrupt, but can't help myself from sharing.
The CDV is a valve which no matter how quickly you lift your foot off the clutch pedal, the clutch engages the flywheel at a constant (slow) rate. Effectively, it can save the driveline from shock, where an inexperienced driver dumps the clutch at high RPM. But in practice, all it does is prematurely wear out the clutch. It's like slip shifting, which is something you don't want to do with a high reving engine.

MattG, thanks for the info. I'm leaning towards the Computech SC with a different intake. I'd also like to use some coilovers to slightly lower the stance and prevent any body roll. I'm also thinking of changing the rear end or 6th gear to reduce rpm and enhance top end. This I think is gonna be tricky to mess around with powerband vs. rpm. Any suggestions?
Oh Yeah, better was used vaguely..."better" as in appearance just to make it unique.
