Mark do you use a stock off the shelf GM clutch master cylinder? From your pics it looks like an OE 02' F-Body setup. If so have you found any issues with high RPM shifts? Also do you typically just incorporate a clutch pedal stop into the upper pedal bracket? Appreciate your insight on this.

Thanks for posting Mark. I have to ask.......why is it you continue to go with a four link in the rear as opposed to a 3 link with a watts link?

It works, packages well and I like it

If it ain't broke don't fix it. The DSE deal works great. I'm putting a lot of power to it and the only thing I change from the DSE set is a couple reinforcements and a brace to the pan hard bar on the body side.

On paper the 3 link with a watts link is better.... But the DSE stuff works for me.

I'm using the DSE adaptor and the 2002 F-car apply system. With the LS9 clutch and a 7000 RPM shift it works fine. I'm at the limit of the LS9 clutch. I would not use it for drag racing.

I will put the pedal stop on the fire wall.

There are a lot of great things with the DSE sub-frame.

Great structural feel - Red Devil had no forward bars.
Header clearance with the rack over the stock '69 steering box
Corvette knuckles brakes and ABS sensors
Wider front tires and good turning radius
Sorted set up - I use the as received springs and bars from DSE

Camaro X worked great with the stock sub. The headers were the biggest pain.

I have driven other front sub frames but in my opinion DSE has the best structural feel.
