I'm sorry you're having a downer day after your install party and BBQ, B. Things'll look up soon! I'm sure the POTR guys will steer you down the right path... Smile!

So had my "official" quote for the uFcking clutch today.
So goin by my tuners "recommendation" it's going to run 1100 bucks, add an addtitional 500 bucks if I want a twin disk clutch that "you'll never, ever break"
Granted it's chump change to what TB has paid into his ride, it kinda put the day in a crappy light. Not entirely sure I'm going with that recommendation or with a different mfg, I dunno. The spec 3+ will be about 300 bucks cheaper than the "clutchmasters" so is it worth the extra 300 or go the 'normal' route.
uFck.
anyway, I'm really on the fence. It's just 300 bucks so it shouldn't that big of a deal I guess.
Good news is that going over financials today if I get a decent income tax refund then even with this setback, which I'd have to do anyway, I should still be able to go with a "budget build" before the end of the year and that includes an Ice-Box and tires. So it's gloomy right now but it'll look up soon I hope.

You! Or is the Roush blower a TS? 
Yeah... $1600. 
I got same speal from Adam. He basically said the Centerforce clutch is crap. Funny thing is, it works great!
I felt the same way on my CF DF.

Brian that's crappy luck man. I know my day will come. I know nothing of clutches, but from what I've read here throughout this forum when the time comes I'm going Spec 3+ or Centerforce DF and thats it, end of story. I couldn't tell you why, but to most it seems like a happy medium.

No.. no.. I was saying that I had my mind set on the CF just like you with the Spec3.
I think what swayed me towards the CF is that Tom (trooper) had one in his 89 with no problems and it was a little cheaper than the Spec3. Otherwise it would've been a coin toss.

I'm hard-headed and was really looking forward to going out to Barona. Then the plan was to save for a budget build. Having my plans go haywire just kinda sucks. Well I guess I'd need to do it at some point anyway, so the sooner the better right ?
I forgot to add CONGRATS on the blower, that's just too cool
<geekhat>
Don't know if anyone likes this kind of stuff. Wanna know what happens if you were to fall into a black hole or when the largest asteroid since observable history will come close or possibly hit the earth ?? It's kinda long but man is it cool

See, here's my deal, do I tell him to stuff the recommendation and that I want something else ? Not that I know better but it just seems weird. Probably just me.

Congrats on the blower Gary. If you need 39# injectors I can give you a good price on a set.
Bullit grille-Looks nice and something I'd consider. Maybe I'll put the UCA money towards that. Then if I don't like it Luis and Brian can have a bidding war for it.
Clutch-I'm sure Adam's recommendation comes with track abuse in mind. So while Bill might be fine with the one he's got you should probably go for the beefy one since your becoming a track junky.

Is Tom going to install it personally?!
My install will be finished tomorrow
but I will not have time to pick it up until Thursday or Friday at the earliest and I won't get the chance to video the dyno.

Do it. Then dislike it. Then give it to me. Charge it to my Leo CC

Wow Gary, now I'm jealous. I love the TS. Good luck with it and congratulations!

Might just order this once I get my money back from the UCA. Funny thing is I think there's a 60/40 chance I won't like it once it's on. Brian, Luis cross your fingers.
