No... just a poorly made one from Art Carr.

My stocker started slipping right away, but it was only evident when trying to speed shift into third. Normal driving, it was fine, just wouldn't bark them in third. When we took the clutch out, it looked fine, just wouldn't hold the power.

Thanks Brad, I guess I'll find out soon enough. Hopefully if it does slip, Brenspeed will catch it either on the dyno or on the test drive so they can put a new Spec in there if they need to.

I haven't had any problems yet, but If the clutch starts slipping ,then I'll up-grade it. I got down on it the other day and when I went to 2nd gear, starting spinning and had to let off just a little,got back in to it and spon in third . I like when I really start off ,how it puts you back in the seat,so hard that the seat belt tighten until I let off.

It is very addicting.

Thumprr does that Steeda Strut Tower Brace Rub?

Thumppr,
does your Steeda Strut Tower Brace Rub against your Saleen Supercharger when your engine moves around from all that torque?
My picture is below but I dont have a strut tower brace
