new clutch recommendation??
 
Ok guy putting a LQ4/L92 head engine together for my nova i need to get a new clutch,and flywheel . The engine should be 550 fwhp + a very rare shot of nitrous(go to the strip 1-2 times a year) car had a 430hp sbc with a 11" dualfriction clutch that work really good....but new set up is gonna make alot more hp/tq. was thinking maybe a centerforce dfx??? Any input? I liked the smooth operation and easy clutch pedal of the DF. think i would have as good luck with the DFX??
I'm open to suggestion.....thanks!

Check out our clutch lineup, www.monsterclutches.com. Our Level 3 will work great for your setup. After 500 miles of breakin your clutch shouldn't chatter anymore and the unit will take a tremendous amount of abuse.

+1 for monster. They handle anything you throw at them

how about either a spec stage 2+ or a stage 3 compaired to a monster? i see alot of guys like the monster but the spec is cheaper and has a higher torq capacity(according to there calculations). reason i ask is $$ is getting tight and i still need headers and clutch/flywheel set up every penny counts!

also anyone have any input on these F1 racing flywheels? seems pretty good, made of 4140 chromemoly weighs only 15.45lbs, sfi spec, and is priced decent
i'd really like input on this from someone that has tried one. heres a link
