I forgot to mention that I have them. They do allow/introduce a resonant peak at around 2500 RPM but it's only noticeable (to me) when holding the engine at that speed in neutral. I've never watched the engine/trans assembly while exciting that mode. Hopefully there are no long-term detrimental effects because they feel great otherwise.

It’s never bothered me but I may change the clutch master with the stiffer clutch.

Is "MTEC" code for "I removed the OEM clutch spring thingy"?

Oh there's a spring there for sure! I'm just not sure if mine is OEM or that MTEC one.
