I have read that using the lighter 'standard' pressure plate provides better acceleration and deceleration.? I am thinking about using the heavier 140/180 pressure plate to have the heavier springs, and using Clarks taper bolt flywheel (C8722) that they say is about 3 pounds lighter (but not as light as their lightened racing flywheel).?

   Mark- I'm running a 3.08 diff with 175/70 tires and the otto late flywheel with the

 140/180 pressure plate on my early (short stroke) turbo, and I havent noticed any

bogging- this may be because the compression ratio on my car is 8.0:1, but whatever,

It is a really nice combination! Yes, it does make the turbo boost harder and faster, 

and my gas mileage has increased.
