Clutch? Which clutch kit and flywheel would you recommend for an average LT1 camaro? I plan on doing basic bolt on mods later down the road but nothing major. I was looking at the RAM Powergrip. I've done a search and couldn't come up with much (let alone recent threads).
Thanks
Thanks

Is this a daily driver, or are you dumping the clutch at the track every weekend?

This is a daily/weekend driver. I don't ever plan on taking it to the track honestly, but I want to know the clutch can take some abuse every now and then. Honestly I don't ever see myself building over 450 hp any time soon.

Get one of those types of clutches from CC, Spec, Ram etc and you'll still have the smooth engagement of a stock organic clutch, but it will have a grippier, sportier feel.
I've run organic and kevlar Spec (Stage1 and 2) clutches in my Trans Am, and I recently installed an organic CC Stage 1.5 in my girlfriends RSX Type-S. All three clutches are great, no complaints.

For those with the Powergrip, does it chatter on take off?
Where would you guys recommend ordering one from (price wise)?
CC's website is confusing. Their clutch and flywheel kits seem to only be for LS1s & their domestic rwd page isn't very easy to read.
Basically I'm looking for a sportier clutch for basic bolt ons. Something that will last.

Derp I was looking at their product page. Just noticed you can go to their store and enter your vehicle. So I'm looking at this clutch:
http://competitionclutch.com/store/d...hp?vinvid=6858
Seems reasonable for my needs and not too expensive. As far as flywheel goes (CC doesn't sell them for LT1s), you think a RAM billet steel one is suffice?
