Default What Clutch to hold ~450na plus 100N2O?

What clutch will handle this much? lq4/l92/ls3 with a 100 shot of n2o on a dedicated. Don't want to spend more than $700

Thanks

I would say Monster Level 3 as well. It's a little over your $700 budget, but well worth the investment!

Give me a call and I can get one coming your way!

my honest experience?

stock LS1 clutch holds that fine for awhile... after that, any of the aftermarket clutch will hold 450 with a small shot like that.

Also, after hanging out around here long enough ive learned one thing.. people always praise the latest and greatest, even if it isnt what you asked for... you dont NEED a 700hp clutch... its cool.. its good FOR A 700 HP CLUTCH.. but you can put a newer OEM clutch in and it will hold that and work great on the street.

btw, my cammed LS1 on a 175 shot was also in a thirdgen camaro convertible.... surprised the hell out of people.

I'll disagree.

While it may hold a few times it will NOT take the abuse my clutches are designed to. I can get on YouTube and pull up numerous videos from stock clutches exploding due to people trying to use them for something they were never intended to do.

The OP needs a clutch that will hold, has a warranty, will not fail, and more importantly will not self destruct when it's used in the way he wants to.

Most praise what works, some praise the latest thing (like twin disc clutches ), this is what happens on the internet. Putting me in that catagory is a little far fetched, especially considering we've sold over 4000 units and have dealers and distributors world wide; my company is hardly a "flash in the pan".

I would be interested in seeing the youtube videos of such explosions.

I have only been abusing OEM LS1 clutches for 8 years at the OPs power level, so im sure mine will explode in a similar matter at anytime... or start slipping.
