Good Clutch???? What Kind????
Good Clutch???? What Kind???? I need a new clutch for my 95 Formula. I went to Speedink and they told me to go with a Star LT1 Carbon Fiber clutch. They said its a Stage 3 clutch. $499 is the price of it so I'm thinking of picking it up.
What do you guys think of that clutch? What else do you guys recommend? I drive hard so i'm not trying to replace my clutchs every 4 months like my Mustang.

Haven't heard too much on the Star clutches. I'd stay away from the Spec as too many people in the LT1 world seem to have problems with them. Personally, I like the McLeod single disc setup. I had one, and it help up to over 100 dragstrip runs and about 24K miles on the street.
I have a Spec stage 3 clutch in my car now. I put 2800 miles on it and a spring broke out of the hub. Spec warrentied it and sent me a new disc for free. I put about 5 miles on it since I got the new disc.
Before this setup I bought just 2 stage 3 discs from Spec and both discs had springs break out of them. So total I have had 3 discs that had springs break out of them.
I'm getting a twin disc next.

Solid95z, what kind of material was your clutch. Because i know when i looked into them becuase i was going to buy it, i noticed you could have ceramic or carbon surface. Would that even make a differance in your case?

When my car gets the clutch it will still only have minor mods, intake, headers, catback, control arms, wheels and tires. But by the end of summer i plan on doing heads and cam.
So would this clutch be worth my money or should i start looking at other brands?

Hey guys what do you think of a Center Force Dual Fraction??? I was talking to Scott at Speed Service and he said a lot of guys get that for there LT1s. I'm thinking of picking that up soon.
So what clutch to go with??? I'm about to go try and put a King Cobra in off a Mustang. 
I guess then it will be between the Mcleod or a Zo6 clutch. Most likely I'll get a Mcleod, unless I find a really good deal on a Zo6 clutch.
