For example when i ran a 55 shot i could never break a 9.96 in the 1/8 mile with a 74 trap.

when i went turbo and got an ACT clutch i was still trapping around 74 but my times went down to a 9.49 it's a huge difference.
then whats a a good clutch for a si b16a2 not a d16

the best thing to do is call act and tell them what you have and they will give you part numbers then call around

and i lack enough personal experiance with flywheels to give you any GOOD advice

Default NOS horror story

Just wanted to give you my story, it's NOT typical of honda's and NOS, but...it's what happened to me :-)

My 1995 civic ex had about 90,000 miles on it when I installed an NOS5122 kit. I used it ONCE and it burned the hell out of a valve and sent parts of my spark plug through the engine. I lost all compression in that cylender and shortly after did an engine swap. I for one opted to NEVER run nitrouse again, be it dry, wet or any other way....just don't trust it now :-)

Any way, I will also tell you that I know a lot of guys that run a 50-70 shot on there civics (everything from cx to ex to si) and they have been doing it for a long time in many cases and have no trouble.

Just my .02 sense.

if you just want something streetable that'll go up to around 200 wheel torque just get the HDSS, it's what i have and the pedal still feels really easy to drive. Personally i'd almost rather get something a tad beefier like the XTSS but it's up to you. As for flywheels you can get a fidanza, aasco, jun or comptech, they are all good.
