T-56 questions

One of the things I'm hoping to do in the next year & a half or so is to swap out my A4 for a T-56, but there are a couple of things I'm not sure about:

How does it work with cruise control? With the A4, it seems like it would be easier for the ECM to maintain speed, whereas with the T-56, all it can do is increase engine RPMs to try to keep a constant speed... (I'm likely going to have to burn a chip anyway, so I'll probably look at that as well...)

What type of clutch disc do all of you like? I was initially thinking of getting a Spec-3, but I've since heard one guy say that they're prone to grenading when you thrash on 'em... (Then again, that might be just one person too...)

Finally, how much should I expect to pay for one? I've seen prices all over the board, so some real-world feedback would be appreciated...

Thanks!

Re: T-56 questions

Cruise--if you get a speedo interface/cable X-box (depending on what year car you've got), it'll work the same way. It'll just pull/release the throttle cable and give more/less gas to go faster/slower.

For a clutch, depends what kind of engine you've got. My stock LT1 clutch held up fine in my '92, but I was only running the stock LO3. When the clutch goes in my '94, I'll probably get a Spec Stage 2.

For price--I had $1,000 in it, total. Check out my site, hopefully it'll help you out some.
