NLS with KY CLutch

Just for people that were curious/worried. I did it about 4 times last night for the first time. Feels amazing, and better then stock!

So go ahead and go nuts

I still do not understand the issue with NLS on an aftermarket clutch. If your not going big turbo and you did the NLS on the stock clutch, why would you be scared on the aftermarket clutch? The stock clutch holds just as well as the KY at 6000-6500 rpm. You're likely only putting down at max 300 ft lb at that RPM. If you weren't worried on the stocker, you shouldn't be worried on the KY. Now if you start holding more torque up top then I would start to question the decision.

if the KY Grabs harder it could deff. cause a problem. IIRC its the 2-3Shift that causes the majority of issues.

You may be shifting at that rpm but it catches in the next gear at a lower rpm where the torque is likely much higher. I get nervous everytime I do it but feel that 3-4 shift is probably slightly less brutal than 1-2 and 2-3.
