I wanted to suggest another brand of clutch that I haven't had any issues with and it grips great as heck!...local for me in SoCal.. http://www.clutchmasters.com/fiero/ ... I'm actually running a FX350 but I don't see it on their website under our car search. I'm sure they still have it available though. Simple call.. I managed to get a 9-11/16" pressure plate instead of the stock 9-1/8" but I know it's not available anymore through them.. I forget what the compound the clutch is but it doesn't chatter what so ever and is smooth in the shifting.. I need to mention that I have new cables from Rodney dickman and a short throw shifter... my flywheel is the stock 88 but has been decked some to shave the weight.. also 13.4 lbs but I want to stick with the billet steel.. resurfacing by Clutch Masters.. along with replacing the teeth due to 2 broken ones.

Also... I'm curious... aren't your side panel scoops functional?.. the reason I ask is that I have modded side scoops (both sides of the car) and I mounted a B&M oil cooler with a temperature controlled fan sitting on the passenger side under the battery box in the well area. 8x8 x1-1/2 with fan inches deep, I think. fit like a glove with some little space left over.. the oil filter may fit as well... it works so well!.. why the trunk?.. I had to fab a bracket but no big deal..

When I ported my heads... I did a gasket match at the inlet side along with my runners.. and then took the fins down some (but in making them thinner and more to almost a point /peak at the top rather than the thicker rolling mound it was...
The face lift/shaved of Michael Jackson's nose 😜... before an after[This message has been edited by unboundmo (edited 11-28-2017).]

Thanks for the clutch recomendation, they look pretty good. Right now when I flatshift at 5500rpm the clutch I can feel it slip. Taking off and shifting without flatshft is fine but when the flatshift is engaged and I shift thats when it slips, no smells or anything.
I'll get me one of those, thank you very much again!

The fin is there to divert air around the valve stem, there's also a cavity above the fin so some air gets diverted down to near side while side air goes around. When switching to Fiero Store, SI valves, the stem narrows on the combustion end to the narrower diameter of the GEN3 valve stems. The fin can be narrowed a bit as well. With the right guides, the 1.76" intake valve can be used and the opening radiused larger for a bump in compression and flow.

This trypods look better than the stock ones. Hopefully this can last a little longer. New axles and bearings are in, tomorrow I'll torque the hub bearing nuts. I'm beat up!

I'm modifying the trunk with an air vent and the oil cooler will have a fan drawing air through it.
