Default 600rwhp Daily Driver Needs a new clutch?

Hey guys Im looking to get a clutch that can hold around 600rwhp I would like the clutch to be easy to daily drive.

I keep hearing good things about the center force dual friction.


Where the best place to go for a Clutch/Flywheel combo?

This would help me too. I just went through a Spec-3 plus in less than 500 miles. Only launched it hard 3 times. Very disappointed. Anyone think the LS7 clutch can hold this much??? Anyone have an opinion on the kartech clutches??

My TEXtralia has been doing great for over a yr and about 15-16k or so. It drives as good as it holds.

Still waiting for a lil more info from him.....

Ya I'll be going the track and doing some street racing. Mostly highway pulls since that seems to be the cool thing to do these days. Car will be making around 600rwhp.

mcleod twin and be done with it. street use is what kills clutches in cars with big power.

PS- get a remote bleeder while you are at it. bleed it out before you hit the track and it will make a difference.

I've got a few thousand miles on an LS7 clutch with 575rwhp. It's holding up great so far but only time will tell.

Textralia OZ700 the best clutch I've ever used. Grabs like crazy and the pedal is easier than the stock one. Better for bumper to bumper traffic as well because I feel there is more slip in it than stock so you don't have to worry about stalling out too much.

Default Cartek Level 7

Cartek has a Level 7 clutch that might fit your needs. It uses the LS7 flywheel. I should have my C5 up and ruinning next week. I post the results.
