[Shotimes] Suspension/steering question +extras

[Jeremy Grimm]

Hey guys.

I just replaced the clutch in the 89. I upgraded to the 9 3/4 flywheel and 
what not.

But after I reassembled things I noticed that my handling has decreased. The 
torque steer seems worse, bump steer seems to have increased, and the car 
feels like it pops off the ground more readily than it used to when I hit 
bumps in the road (specially under moderate to hard accel).

The other thing that I have noticed is that the car does not like to shift 
into 1st and 2nd as smoothly as it used to. I have to push the stick much 
farther to the left before it slides in smoothly. There is not grinding or 
thunking when I put it in gear, it just is hard to move the shifter into 
place. Is there some way of adjusting this? Aside from getting a rod shifter 
(which is in planning stages but wont happen till sometime this summer).

Have I broken something or missed something? Or am I just need to get used 
to having a strong clutch.

Lastly how can you tell if your MAF needs to be recalibrated? My SHO now 
gives me a solid CE light when I take my foot off the gas at speeds over 60 
and I am not sure why. It didn't do this before I replaced the heads and 
Cams...Now it had stage 1 cams in it when I had the chip programed by T. 
Breaux...and I put stage 1's back in it after the others got "eaten", do I 
need to sendthe chip back to get "fixed"?

Sorry for the barrage of questions...

Thanks for the assistance...
