i wouldnt go ceramic for the clutch. they are really grabby, either in or out n if ya slip em, u can weld the disc to the flywheel, just ask nate (12valvetater). dont spend all that money buildin up the motor then skimp on the clutch or u'll destroy it. i love this dual disc, but u might wanna go with a higher plate load for what ur lookin at

upgraded hydro will help some ... but a dual will not shift like a single, slam shifting these 4500's is a great way to blow them up

smoke add's extra heat ... which is what your trying to loose the extra power will come from the bigger injectors and charger

timing will help but the larger dv's kinda defeat the purpose
