What lt1 clutch should I go with?
I've got a 96 Z28 M6 that will need a new clutch soon. Any advice what is the best in performance, durability, driveability, and value for daily driver who is just beginning the modification process?

With the prices of these going up & up, your better off just spending the 400+ on a Ram kit or others, the OEMs are at around 220.00 now, then you'll be out another 180.00-200.00 for a good street/strip disc.

375$ for 425 hp (rated) http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=366&catid=59
480$ for 600 hp (rated) http://www.byunspeed.com/product_inf...oducts_id=4890
Also, don't forget to change your rear main seal and bearings.

OP, we had a Zoom clutch on an LT1 in the shop the past couple weeks, the guy said he was really happy with it and it looked like a really nice unit. It was very smooth and driveable for a puck style clutch. I don't know how good they are, but might be worth checking out at least.

The differences on LT1 clutches is in the disc material and construction. Pressure plates are either Valeo (OEM) or clones.
With a stock set up...a "replacement" clutch from auto parts store will be fine and the cheapest route.
1st two pics = ZOOM, next 2 RAM
note the disc construction...ZOOM is a 1 piece, RAM has fingers connecting outer disc with rivits.
the ZOOM is about $50 more than the RAM

FWIW that is what I run. I bought it and the RAM from Summit. Compared them side by side...closed the box on the RAM and sent it back.

What flywheel did you use?? The one we had in the shop had a very thick aluminum one, he said it came with the Zoom clutch...
