Default First trip to the track after my h/c/i

And i fried my clutch the first pass out. Still managed a 12.2 at 120 lol.

So what kind of clutch options do I have out there?

Im looking for a streetable set up that can hold about 600 lbs of torque (as i plan on spraying eventually).

I'd go with the Ram dual with aluminum flywheel. I've heard good things and they're rebuidable. Mcloed dual would be a good choice also. Aussie clutches (EXO-SKEL) too. Bottom line is you're looking at around $1200 for a good clutch at that power level. I'll be in the same boat as you I think.

I would spend a bit more and and be done no matter how much spray you end up running. Get the Exedy Twin Plate. EXPENSIVE but worth it. Chatters a bit at first but after broken in it is whisper quiet.

Going to PM you Dave.

I've heard the exedy is an on/off clutch which can be good and bad. It's great for super fast shifts but doesn't like to be slipped at the line. I'm assuming you're predominately drag racing. More than one guy on the corvetteforum has had one **** the bed. I'm glad you're having success with yours though Doug.
