Thanks for all the useful information!!

The LS9 clutch works great up to about 825 ft*lbs TQ. I was on the edge of capacity of that clutch in Red Devil and Mayhem. If you slipped (Got real hot) the LS9 clutch its high RPM reserve (Not fully releasing) was reduced. You would notice this on WOT 2-3s and 3-4s. The Centerforce will hold 1300 ft*lbs. Per Will Baty at Centerforce it will work fine with the F-body CSC but it will have better life with the GT500 Mustang CSC. It took a bit of digging but I found the GT500 part has less effective piston area so for the same master displacement it should stroke farther at the trade off a bit more pedal effort. I made my own Swedgelok quick disconnects and bench bled the system before I installed it. I'll try to take some pictures tonight. The pedal efforts seem correct to me about 35 lbs. On the high side for an OE application but good for a 957 HP Hot Rod. Statically testing it the pickup point seems correct so far I'm happy with it. Randy Johnson and Chris Smith let me drive there cars and the low speed drivabilty of the DYAD seems good. The true test come at the track.

We made a lot of progress over the weekend. My buddy Ryan Kuhlenbeck was back in town to help with the wiring. Intergrating the new Bosch ABS was not trivial. We finished the whole front engine bay harness. I have started on all the soft lines and I'm about half done. Jeesh this car has a lot of wires and hoses.









The rear axle and fuel tank are DONE!

Mark your work is always so impressive because when you open the hood it looks like it should have came this way from the factory,beautiful car
