The CC disk weighs 5 pounds 2 ounces and the Spec 3+ weighs in at a buff 6 pounds 10 ounces. Stock disk weighs around 4 pounds 10 ounces IIRC.

Turns out the PP is broken on my 3+ setup but the disk is good. If anyone is interested, PM me.

Got the Competition Clutch Stage 2 installed and wow what a nice clutch. It installed exactly like it should and had none of the infamous LT1 release issues that occasionally plaque other brand clutches.

It drives buttery smooth with absolutely no chatter at all. Upshifting is as smooth as driving an automatic and the overall pedal engage/disengage range is very stock like meaning it is none of that on/off switch feel that can be difficult and a PITA to drive.

The pedal firmness feels just like any other clutch. The PP is supposed to be strengthened according to CC, but I cant tell it in the pedal. Maybe the hydraulics are masking the increased firmness of the pressure plate.

Cant speak to gripping power until its well broken in but in terms of regular driving, this is the best feeling clutch I have ever driven.

I found the stage 2.5 for $300 shipped brand new from someone who isn't a sponsor. I will be picking one up come summer time for sure.

well I would imagine one's stronger and one's a more driveable, you have to decide what's more important for your vehicle.

Default Flywheel to go with competition clutch

What flywheel did people purchase to go with this clutch (those that bought new flywheel)? Especially those that did the CC on a budget.
Thanks

That is just a resurfaced/re-man one, correct?

Bump for an old thread, to let everyone know they do have military discounts. I thought this was already a good enough deal, and I hope this clutch is half of what you guys make it out to be lol. Less than $300 shipped to my door

Got the 2.5
The part number is 4134-2375

Anything I should do while having the clutch swapped?
