Well...it is right on the border. I guess it technically is in Framingham, but it is in fact right across from the Natick Mall on Rt 9.

I'll be shopping for an exedy twin... i tend to think it's the best upgrade path... you get stock-like pedal feel with insane grip. and it can handle 600 whp

Lots of local guys have the Exedy Twin Disk...

Dexter, Greg, Pierre, Gator... I think there are others I'm forgetting...

I've driven Dex's very lightly and I really liked the pedal feel/engagement

OK I'm leaving early... this has been the longest day EVAR

Haha...nope. Let's see...First DSM meet, my buddy bet me $20 I couldn't eat the mass of ice cream left from the giant cookie dessert thing in one bite...free meal! First Evo meet, the waiter dumped our pizza onto Paul's camera bag. So we got another one, and it was free. Next time, we ordered a large, and they brought out a small. Made us another large, and only charged us for the small...

If I was to get a twin, I might lean towards a quarter master. Have heard a few issues with the Exedy, but none with the quarter. And its cheaper.

I'm so glad I knew there was a meet where I work and that I already drove an hour home AND ate dinner. Damnit.

Oh well, track meet friday!

i prefer the design of the quarter master - with the hydraulic TOB. the Exedy definitely has its quirks if you drag race alot, so if i have the money I will definitely be jumping to the QM next time around (modified to work with the 6 speed of course). Not that i don't love my exedy - its a huge improvement over stock, but the design of the QM is more reliable/consistent.

*i spend way too much money on clutches

It's a non-mivec 8 with Tomei 260 cams.
I would still prefer a Red on a 9 with GSC S2s, even with lower boost. The Mivec helps make up alot of mid-range that would be lost going to a bigger turbo and cams.
