:talon:ok i have been working on this car since december and have most everything worked out. One of the things left is that wen i'm driving and push the clutch in to roll to a stop the car dies the rpms just fall out. the car just idles down and dies. it has a stage 3 zoom clutch and ACT lightweight flywheel.. if the car is just sitting it idles fine and when clutch is pushed in while just sitting it doesn't die. I talked to some guys at our local race track and they thought due to less rotational mass that it might be causing it to die. ANy help on this???
 
i just added a short ram intake from ebay... so i believe it's still recirculating...

so could it be the lack of rotational mass??????? please let me know
 
Sounds like a bad throwout bearing possibly, is it making any kind of clicking noise when the clutch pedal is depressed?
 
Is it making a squealing noise when you push it in? If its making and noise be prepared to take your tranny off my throwout bearing literally welded itself together. Its definitely not your flywheel and lack of rotating mass.
 
i hear no clicking what so ever.. it only does it when i drive it. i can press clutchin when it is sitting and it's fine and rev up and no problem only after driving with higher rpms.
 
:talon:thanks spyderman7 that did the trick can't believe i didn't think about that at all. your advice saved me alot of hassle. way to go man :thumb:
