Default Need Some Clutch Advice

i have a 94 Z28 that i am swapping a T56 is going into.

Right now the car is making maybe 375ish to the wheels N/A im looking for maybe 425 Max N/A HP. I am also planning on spraying a 100 shot on top of this once in a while.

Question is what clutch would be able to handle this power of 525ish to the wheels and still be streetable.

What kind and why?

Also do you suggest getting a performance flywheel too?

what are the benifits of the flywheel over stock?

Thanks

i have the SPEC III and ive got nothing but good things for it, i love it. its kinda stiff but still quite streetable, as for the new flywheel, a light weight flywheel will make your engine rev quicker and reach the powerband faster. you dont HAVE to go with SPEC but thats what i have experience with. theres others out there like RAM, Hayes, Centerforce...

I also have a spec stage 3 with the billet steel flywheel

Also I hear the Mcloud Twin clutch is also good but expensive $1200.00 with fly wheel


just make sure you also get the fly wheel with what ever clutch you get.

Ram powergrip and happy

After all the things I have been reading about specs blowing up I would think twice before buying one. I am not saying all specs are bad, I know a few people running them with no problems but it seems as if you take the chance of getting a good or bad one and I value my legs/car enough to make me not buy one.

edit-i just had my stock flywheel resurfaced and all is well

Centerforce dual friction dosen´t change driveability and holds alot of power (more than you will make)never heard a bad thing about it
