Very true...sometimes the extra cost is worth it.



Hector, well as it turns out that is the road I am taking. I know that I am going to be replacing the clutche packs and plates with something above OEM either way I go. I still need to find out about these things that are called "High Energy". ZtecRacing was going to check with someone he knows that works at Borg Wagner for me and current options they have. The shop owner told me that there are several options avaliable to me through Raybestos (I really like the Eclipse line!!), but cannot find anything in there online catalog. They also have the Kevlar composites I want to go with.

As for the convertor, I will be staying stock. It is going to eat up so much money for the 98 core, that right now I feel more comfortable staying away from the high stall convertor. Plus, most of what I have read, is that I will not see a hugh increase in performance from the convertor alone. Besides, a high stall convertor will cost me about what the core will, so now maybe you guys see the point in me holding off on the TC for now.

Midnight, I know how you feel. When I got married, I was in the exact same boat. Waves are pretty rough ain't they!? But we had a blast anyway. Don't let it bother you and just enjoy yourself, whatever you do. Congrats and good luck on everything.
