RPS or Southbend? which is better. i mean for smoother engagement. only this two brand. not carbon carbon or other $$$$ clutchs. I know the right way is build the engine first but it gonna cost $$$$. ANY ADVICE??? some of the parts that're arrived so, i post the pictures here [ http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2180622/progress-on-project-pics.html ]
