Thanks Larry for the helpful reply.
Hmmm... I am wondering if the faster spooling-up of a LWFW, together with the increased power from the ECU tune -- meaning even more faster spooling, subsequently cause a difficulty in engagement point. This seems to make sense in theory.
Anyone else with a LWFW would like chime in?
Your car is really at the cutting edge. Congrats.

That is what I feel is happening. With the added power and quicker throttle response from the LWFW, the factory power assisted unit makes proper engagement a little challenging.
The stock clutch has a numb feel as it is. When I upgraded to the Sachs setup, the engagement point became higher up in the overall pedal travel. The overall pedal feel (pressure) is not much different from stock. I just want a more defined engagement feel from the pedal so that modulation becomes easier.

I understand the issue now.
Is it easy to change the LWFW to the regular one and see that would help? Or are you going to try the accumulator kit?

Swapping out the flywheel requires quite a few labor hours. I never liked the stock pedal feel to begin with. I am just going to try the accumulator kit.
