It sounds like you didn't pull the clutch fork off of the throw-out bearing.

I'd go with some stuff from Crower or Eagle. I've always seen good luck w/ those brands. Make sure you do all 4340 Forged and maybe even have your rods and pistons coated. If you are going to build a "good" nitrous motor i'd plan on spending close to $2500 on just the crank,rods and pistons. If you gonna do it do it right IMO.

Are you pulling out the top or dropping out the bottom?

I got a Scat 9000 crank, Scat 4340 Forged 6" I-beams, and SRP forged pistons for $982 from my machine shop...

send an email to Brian Adams, his email is scatstroker@hotmail.com , he should be able to set you up with a good price on some scat products. Just tell him what you're building, what he reccomends, and his price.
