Default 2008 LS3 clutch suggestions

Hello Guys,

I have a 2008 LS3 C6 which will have an aftermarket cam in it and will be around +-500WHP. I need to make a decision on a clutch and flywheel but I am very iffy with this subject since I have had vary bad luck with after market clutches. Pease give me your thoughts and suggestions on what to get for a dissent price. Your help will be greatly appreciated. The car is my daily driver, I do take it to the track (1/4 mile) ones in a while and I do push it to its limits.

Thank you.
Karn

I can hook you up with a 08 Z06 clutch and flywheel set up for around 550 plus shipping. Brand new in box. Should be plenty of clutch for ya.

My car has the stock clutch and numerous runs down the track and on the street at my current power level. Your stock clutch will more than be up to the task if you know how to drive.

get a texrailia OZ700 or a mcleod single disc. You really don't need a twin disk unless you start spraying. Just stay away from spec unless you like having a clutch explode on you.

Do you know what are the specs on your cam?
