Just invested sbout $8000 into my 04 GTO, and hopefully making about 440 RWHP, and figured I need to upgrade the clutch. Im looking into the SPEC stage 3 clutch with aluminum flywheel, and need to know if I really need to order all the other stuff reccomended by manufacturer. Those parts are listed below, DO I REALLY NEED ALL THIS STUFF?



-Billet Aluminum Pressure Plate Option $289.00
-Concentric Hydraulic Release Bearing/Slave Assembly $105.00
-Clutch Slave Cylinder $85.00
-Adjustable Master Cylinder $175.00
-Clutch Master Cylinder $99.00
-Billet Flywheel Replacement Friction Plate Kit w/ Fasteners $79.00

I would recommend the Diamond Stage 2. It comes in a complete kit with everything you'll need & is good for 600hp/tq, but still drives like stock. Plus it has a one year warranty. I've never been a fan of aluminum flywheels with the friction lining. Speaking from experience, these linings tend to over heat, as they are only 1/8in-3/16in thick. The Diamond clutch kit uses a 4140 chromoly flywheel, which is specifically designed to handle large amounts of heat without warping. It's just about the same weight as aluminum as well...15lbs vs 13lbs. Whereas the stock fly is 23lbs. Also this kit is a full 12in instead of 11in. Do some searches on here and you'll find nothing but excellent feedback on this setup.
It's currently on special for $690 shipped, including a new GM-style slave and chromoly billet flywheel.

Our clutches don't require an adjustable master cylinder and don't have an insert in the flywheel to warp. They also happen to be on sale, so feel free to call me if you have any questions, Chris 817-750-2000
