I'd personally stick with the stock flywheel if doing any drag racing. When I had an m6 I used the stock flywheel with an aftermarket clutch and did plenty of 1.5x 60fts. Plus heard you 'typically' want a heavier flywheel when drag racing.

This is off topic but where are you finding a CC stage 2.5 clutch for the LT1s? I can't seem to locate them on CC's website. I'm in the exact same boat as you right now.

Okay guys so i guess i will keep the stock flywheel and get it resurfaced.

anyone ever had a problem with competition clutches?

cause right now i'm running a autozone oem replacement and it has roughly 2200-2700 miles on it and it now engages at the very top of the pedal. But doesn't slip yet. I know it has a lifetime warranty but i would rather not keep changing out clutches every 3k miles.

Also what hydraulics should i use?

Right now i have the AC Delco replacement Oem stuff. Was thinking about running a tick performance adjustable clutch master cylinder.

What do you guys think

Just stick with the stock hydraulics if they still work. Not worth the $200 or $300 for that MC unless your actually in need of one.

And it seems most everyone is pretty happy with there Comp clutches. Probably going to be my next option when my Zoom goes out, which is also a nice clutch.

Okay one last question.

Should i run the stage 2.5. Which isnt on their site so i will need to go through another website.

Or the stage 4 which is on their site for 339.95

My car currently is just full bolt ons and a tune. but I am in the process of building a forged 383 and plan in spraying it.

anyone have first hand experience daily driving the stage 4?

WTF? How would going through another site get you a 2.5 ?

It is on there BTW... just not under the LT1 specific kits.

Just CALL THEM.

It's not that i don't want to call them. But i work the exact hours they are open and there not open ton the weekends.

And the reason i would go through a different website is because they don't have the LT1 2.5 kit on there and other places do. But maybe they just haven't updated the site in awhile. I will call them and find out when i have time.

You can always email them too. It's not that hard to get a hold of a company if you try
