I think you should be fine as long as you're not towing and keep your right foot light when your on the interstate.

You have to let a clutch seat properly

Yea, i got a new clutch! Then i was talking about the difference between a 12valve and a 24valve, such as making power. See in a 12valve you gotta do everything mechanical (pain in the butt!) and a 24valve, you just gotta push a button to turn your fuel down. So you want slip the clutch.

You can slip a stock clutch with stock power.
