Default What Clutch & Flywheel to get

Im thinking of getting a spec stage 3 but not sure what kind of flywheel to get. Is it worth getting aluminum, or just go with billet. Ive seen some cheap flywheels on ebay but dont know if I should go with that.Want to order it before the wife changes her mind. help me out

Mods are:headers, x-pipe, lid, Throttle body
Planing on cam and nitrous

Ls7 clutch with ls2 flywheel would probably be the best. Would keep the driveability and be able to handle the power you'll be putting to it. 400 @ sdparts.com You can check out the manual section... lots of advice there.

I have the LuK Progold clutch on my Camaro, and could not be happier. It is not the MOST performance minded clutch around, but if you want a bullet proof one, this is the way to go. I have talked to a lot of other people that have them, and no one has had problems. Much better than my stock one that I had.

Take a look at the Textralia, especially if going the nitrous route. With the amount of torque nitrous produces you need a good clutch.

I have the OZ700 Z-grip with the steel billet flywheel and I'm putting out over 600+ rwtq. No problems holding it plus very good street manners.

Good luck.

These are good clutches. I put the 11 inch dual friction in my Z06 and I'm procharged with 8psi. It holds well but I have not launched hard on it back to back.

I would go with a Spec 3+. I've got one in my car and it has been great! Don't waste your time with the regular Spec 3.

I'd like to know a little more about the textrelia clutches... I've got a Clutchmasters Stg.III and Aluminum Flywheel... unfortunately I have not been able to find a person that knows how to install a clutch worth a damn and I haven't really been able to enjoy it so much... when it was installed correctly though, I liked it a lot. I know a guy with a twin turbo camaro pushing over 600hp that swears by em...
