Default 600+ TQ What Clutch?

Well im gonna soon be running about a 125 shot dry and i know with the torque spike you usually get and after that spike ill be atleast around 550-600RWTQ and want something that doesnt chatter at all but doesnt bankrupt me in the process. Before I was thinking of the LS7 but that wont work for long with the torque ill be running on the nitrous. There some good deals on ebay that ive bought before and they lasted a while no problems other then chatter which i wont put up with now.

Are there good clutches that are not puck style that hold up well ? im going to also get a lighter flywheel as well. Ill also be running NT555r's as well or something a bit less sticky the sumitumos just suck and are in bad shape as we speak if my clutch didnt slip soo much with the nitrous it would just toast the tires bad. Does the spec stage 2+ chatter at all, is it a puck style? what other clutches would you guys suggest? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think you're going to get a bit of chatter out of any single disc clutch able to reliably support that kind of power. Your best bet is stepping up to a twin disc, which will hold big power yet still drive very similar to a stocker.

My suggestion for you would be McLeod's RST, also available with an aluminum flywheel on our website at a discounted price: http://www.tickperformance.com/produ...3A-800%29.html

Look into a diamond stage 2 clutch installed one on my buddies heads,cam and nitrous car and it handles the power just fine and the pedal feels like stock.

I also have a diamond clutch but its the stage 3 it works prefect but it is like an on/off switch.

You would not be disappointed in this company and there product, thy stand behind it and will answer any question you have. Hope this helps

+1 for the Diamond stage 2. Great clutch and Jason is a good guy to deal with.

Our Stage 2+ is actually quite smooth and easy to drive on the street and it should meet your torque needs. I think it would be a great choice. Check the link below (scroll down to the second box on the page) for more info and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,
