Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

lol maybe just one more mod after that
INSTALLED and initial driving impressions.
Compared to my McLeod Twin RXT.
1. Engagement point is higher (release pedal and pull foot back further before car moves)
2. Engagement window is smaller (from start of car moving to full engagement)
3. Reduced chatter.
4. Reduced driveline vibration and "clunking".
5. Pedal is stiffer. I attribute this to change to Tick stainless steel clutch line, which was done at same time.
6. My wife, after test driving, says the car is smoother, not as jerky.
7. The car is overall more enjoyable to drive.

Nice.
Did you happen to weigh it?
And see if the advertised weight is true.
I regret getting the 28lb flywheel.
But monster said they wouldn't sell the 15lb one for a street car. The clutch is so small the inertia is very low compared to a large diameter pressure plate.
That looks top quality for sure.

That clutch is pretty!!! Hurry and break it in. I wanna hear how she performs!

As promised, I'm reporting back with my experience with the RPS/Street Slayer BC2.
I did achieve my personal goal of an 11 second quarter mile http://youtu.be/0GUgFJ0TXwk.
Timeslip here:
Also ran a good 1/8 mile time as well.
And, finally, this is how I drive it at the drag strip (this was an 1/8 mile pass, thus no 4th gear: http://youtu.be/ZWWIR-JjbF4
The clutch is no longer a weak link in my setup. I know this because my last pass at Gateway I broke an Axle (a 750hp GForce1320 axle at that). Everything else: clutch, trans, driveshaft, diff, all intact.
Furthermore, I have had zero missed shifts, shifting at around 6800 RPM's. My light goes on at 6400, and I get the clutch pedal in by around 6800 in 1st gear. I attribute this to the clutch disengaging properly and reliably at high engine speed, even when hot, whereas my McLeod RXT twin did not.
