Default 2 choices and another ?

ok i can either go with a ram clutch, new fork, quadrant & cable, or i can get the spec stage 1. the ram will be less and i can get it right when i need it 4 next week. it says the rating is up to 400hp. i will be getting the fork n everything no matter what just dont want to spend a whole lot on the clutch right now. money is really tight n the motor is pretty much stock.

ok and also i tried replacing my valve cover gasket the other day and it leaks worse now. should i not use any rtv on either side of the surface. it was a brand new cork gasket. should i get the blue silicon one and no rtv. what do i do?

You can't use silicone w/ cork gaskets. The gasket will squish out as you tighten it down. Buy the metal/rubber gaskets from ford or 50 resto. Then you won't have a problem. Cork FTMFL!!!

no no no....just try this before you ditch the corks. just put weatherstrip adhesive on the valve cover and stick the cork gasket on top of it. it works great trust me
