Thank you J, Steven, and Tyler. It's hard looking at the kit sitting there in my living room, but this damn winter storm is screwing everything up. I had to cancel my clutch install for tomorrow and set it up for Monday. Then I have to get miles on the clutch before I can even have the supercharger put on. So I'm anticipating everything won't be done until April sometime.

Thanks Steven and Lol, J!
Got the call today that the clutch and AEM serial data gauge was installed without any problems. I'll be picking it up tomorrow morning.

Yes sir, very excited to see how it drives now! The gauge won't really be functional until the AEM EMS is in, but at least it's already installed and ready to go.
Thanks Steven!

Picked up the S this morning and drove it to work. Wow, what a difference. The clutch engages super quick, probably once my foot comes 1/4 up the car is ready to take off and the pressure plate grabs super hard. Pedal feel is just like stock and may actually be a little lighter. Cars revs quicker as well with the lighter flywheel. It's definitely a learning curve with the new clutch because of the lower engagement. You get so used to the car being one way, then bam, totally different and you have to get used to it all over again. The gauge install looks great as well. I'll take some pics when I get home later instead of using the one cell phone pic I took.

Driving the car home from work I felt more comfortable with the new clutch feel, like I already have gotten used to it since driving the car this morning, pretty weird actually. Guess I was just more comfortable this time around and knew what to expect. Anyway, here are some pics I took real quick of the newly installed gauge.

Looks great! I'm not a fan of the S2k's tach, but with the gauge and everything else lit up it looks exciting.
Bet you can't wait for that gauge to start reading something other than zero.

Lol, for sure Aman. It just has power right now, but won't have any readings until the AEM EMS is installed. I think the SC will take a little bit of the luster away from the speedometer because it's digital. So when speeding up number will just skip like 20,25,33, etc. As opposed to have a speedo with a needle gauge where you can watch it steadily rise as you accelerate. But I'm sure I'll be able to deal with it.

^^ That's going to be tough since I am in NJ and J is in FL and neither of us are going to be making that drive any time soon, lol. But I do agree that it has to happen at some point.
