How do you like the Competition Stage 2? I just bought the one of Stu... my cars far from driving anytime soon lol. I'm assuming the clutch will hold up for me this year... I want to boost around 200 hp, so I shouldn't break the torque limits of the clutch... but next year the clutch won't survive.

Thanks! Once I get some bolts for the motor to be put up onto the stand, everything will be disassembled and I'll be sure to post up pics!

Meh, I loved it at first, but after ~20,000 miles, I have mixed opinions. CC def makes great products. I have never heard a bad thing about them. After driving for 30 minutes, I'll slip the clutch (accidentally) just slightly, and each time I release the clutch pedal going into a gear after that, it will slip slightly until the car has completely cooled down. Of course, the clutch being slipped is creating heat, which is affecting the clutch, I didn't expect it to be that big of a problem has I have never experienced this issue before with previous set-ups.

That blue looking sensor.... do you guys think that is some sort of aftermarket knock sensor? I can't think of it being anything else. I asked the guy who I bought it from and he didn't know, he said he just left it there and never had a problem.

I must have the higher capacity stand... because my Harbor Freight stand is an I not a 3 wheeler. And the knock sensor is blue, I am pretty sure mine is.

Yea, I think your stand was the next step up. What I am trying to say by bringing notice to it is that the Z6 block should not have a knock sensor, correct? It doesn't matter regardless, as I know the P28 ECU I am using does not have knock sensor control or whatever it is.

I'm almost certain that that blue/green plug in that picture is the oil pressure sensor.

The sensor directly above the oil filter is the oil pressure sending unit. It sends the signal to the cluster which turns on/off the oil pressure 'dummy' light.
