collectecd car today its been for 4 wheel alighment and set up
it needed some rose joints cut down etc to achive the results i wanted
now the car drives straight and smooth
now on to the teething problems
now i have a few questions
1) how much power can a standard cosworth fuel pump handle
2) any recommendations to what clutch to fit - for for 350bhp?
3) and where is the cheapest place to source the clutch and fuel pump

isnt a paddle clutch a little over kill for 350bhp?
i have the 044 cosworth fuel pump fitted at the moment but its ready to die
but if i just need a standard pump i may save a few £ and get a standard pump instead and save my money for the rolling road tune
