power loss question
I had my rear main seal replaced and a new down pipe installed and it feels like I have lost some power. I was told that the clutch would take a little while to set. But what else would make my car seem to have had power loss?

Yes, I do feel the cluthc is slipping more. The same guy that replaced my rear main. Replace my clutch about two mounths before with a racing beat clutch. Before the rear main the clutch was popping hard and now after the rear main the cluctch feels easy and smooth. Should I worry about all these changes or should I take it back and have something fixed?

It think you'er feeling a difference in the harshness of the clutch. The pop is undesirable, but if it's too smooth you'll have trouble putting the power down without smoking it.
My impression is that smooth is better, as long as you still have good control of the amount of torque being passed thru. In other words, as you're engaging the clutch, and you lift up the pedal, you should always get a clear increase in bite. Too harsh means you won't have any real control at the friction point, which IMHO is for race cars only.
