If the organic is handling a 1.6 launch, that's pretty good, and also re-assuring. A paddle disc should easily offer a huge upgrade, especially as far as launches go. So not a lot of money needs spent.

For road and track, current clutch would last a long time I'm sure. It's those launches that will hurt it most.

obviously gearing is an overall package.

My T56 has pretty tall gears to start with, but currently running a 3.27

That gives me close to 60mph in 1st.

For the most part, the car did feel nicer with the 3.55, but it just left 4th and 5th a fraction short for my liking.

Although the 3.27 in turn makes 6th just a fraction too tall. Just isnt any middle ground though. But I'm happy enough with the 3.27, so it will be staying in.

Taller gears help with traction anyway.
