That's a shame. We built an annex off the garage to house the landi. Nothing more than a simple frame and shrink-wrap. Add an 80,000 btu heater and it'll get up to 80* in the winter easy. It rocks. You should do it... do it NAOW!

Now that it is winter, it slips in 2nd, and I'm only running about 12-13psi at 5-6k and it bleeds down to about 8-9psi by 7k. Its still drivable, but not under full power.

Uh oh. That's unfortuneate. Well, that's something we'll find out on the dyno. How much power are you making at 5, 6, and 7K? What kind of shape was your clutch in?

Clutch was a brand new complete unit from Tennessee Clutch Supply. I ordered it from them as a upgraded pressure plate, but when I put it in the pedal was softer than what was an upgraded clutch on the jspec I'm using. So, I kinda got boned, but the clutch itself is smooth and works great up to peak power. This doesn't speak well for my statement, but the clutch itself was brand new.

I don't know how much power I'm making. I haven't tested it with the Haltech installed and tuned. Right after we got it tuned (in August heat) is when the clutch started slipping, and that wasn't on a dyno. I doubt I'm making judgeIto power due to me having stock ports, but the car feels pretty quick. I've got the tune pretty good at 11.2-11.5 AFRs at full load and 17deg @ 10 and 13.5deg at 15psi timing (again, no dyno to try to push higher).

***Before DGRR I plan to swap in my original PP in hopes that the extra clamping force will help. (Don't want to spend too much $$ bc the car will soon be parted)

Hm.... I may do that very soon, but use some old tin we have laying around. It will save me from having to sell my roller before I leave for schoolin. I don't want it sitting around in the yard, growin weeds and sinking into oblivion haha.
