A&A Question
I am really looking in to getting an A&A kit for my 2000FRC but i have a worry or 2.
I know that if i run less than 9psi my stock internals can last ( but not a garuntee) but how long will my clutch last?
2nd) we have very strict emmision laws here in B.C and i know i can get it retuned to pass as there is always a way, but i am wondering if installing this kit makes the engine throw a code IE) engine light. If so the car automatically fails.
Can anyone chime in here
Thanx

A&A Kits were developed by their own research and are time tested and proven.
Here in Southern California, emissions are pretty tough. With a their first generation supercharger setup, I had no problems passing the sniffer test on smog (even with my long tube headers!). I also did not see any error codes as a result of the install. I was just at their shop yesterday and it was full of cars. I presume their second generation kit handles smog as well if not better.

At 9psi, the clutch may last through the 1-2 shift. 'Probably not the 2-3 shift. 
In all seriousness, it will last plenty long as a drivable clutch. I would start thinking about its replacement immediately if you want it to be there every time you drive aggressively.
