Cartek clutch Does anyone have one in a C5? If so what do you think? I need a clutch now.Plans are to get heads,cam,and intake down the road,so I want one that will hold up.
I'm an 'automatic guy' but I have driven three or four C5s with the Cartek clutch and it truly is a good set up, holds the power, stands up to slipping when needed and feels as streetable as stock.

I have one in mine, great clutch. Has never slipped on me. Put it in when the 427 went in. It's been holding up just fine, my car just made 702rwhp/767rwtq so its holding some power. Really though feels stock, It does take a little getting used to cruise through a parking lot or love a stop light normal. I would definetly buy there set up again.

The clutch doesn't take much load when you blow the tires away. It's when you are hooking that the clutch will see the most. The times you are hooking the best are probably the times you smoke the clutch. Possibly also from repeated slipping too. The build up heat may cause it to slip in a situation that it had not previously.
This is the clutch we put in our cars and it's seen way more abuse than what H+C can throw at it.
