I just installed a SPEC stage III clutch in my 97 TA and I probably have about 300 miles on it. Everytime I drive it in stop and go traffic it starts smoking pretty good. I was just wondering if this is normal? Do they do this when you're first breaking them in? I was thinking it was probably just the paint burning off of it or something?

The next question I have is what are the best O2 sensors out there? I have a real healthy built LT4 and I usually run 110 race gas in it. This causes my O2 sensors to burn up pretty fast. I just didn't know if there was a brand out there better than bosch that could handle it better?

My final question is that I'm getting ready to buy a brand new 12 bolt rear end for my '97 TA and I'm not sure if I need the ABS setup with 3 channel exciter ring on posi or 4 channel exciter rings on axles? Also, is Thunder Racing the cheapest place to buy one?

Any replies would be appreciated!
Thanks, Gary
