For higher mileage, we recommend installing a sports clutch so that the increased power can be transferred to the road.

For our Stage 3 kit, of course the same applies as for kit 1 & 2. From this level on, however, an oil cooler kit should be installed so that the oil temperature is always in the safe range. Likewise, our adjustable camshaft gear is a must-have. The Schrick camshaft shifts the timing. To be able to set this correctly, you need our adjustable camshaft gear.
Since the camshaft of the Tuning-Kit 3 is replaced by one from Schrick, you should also order the necessary parts for the assembly. For example: set of sports hydro tappets, valve cover gasket, mounting grease for the camshaft and the already mentioned camshaft sprocket. Also here you should refuel 102 octane.
