Ok, so I need a clutch. Mine can't handle the track. I have a RAM on it and I do not want another. I am on a budget and don't really want to go higher than $500 after shipping. I have a 93 Z28 with full bolt-on's and that is pretty much it. I have done quite a bit of suspension work and I run drag radials at the track. This is not a very high HP car and if I can ever afford to make it that way, then I will be able to afford a beefy clutch as well

I've been looking at the Spec Stage 2. I replaced the factory clutch when I get the car at about 80,000 miles and the RAM I replaced it with still drives around town well, but slips horribly at the track and that was last season at about 110,000. I don't go to the track or race a lot in general, but I'd still like to be able to whenever I get the urge.

Throw out some recommendations for me. Thanks.

 

SDPC and a couple of other sponsors have the LS7 clutch kit for $500 shipped

 

that's the 3rd time this week I've seen someone recommend the ls7 clutch for an lt1 car.

does your budget of $500 have to include the slave and throwout bearing?

 

My fault..keep forgetting there are LT1s still around.

 

hahaha

 

Well I was hoping to get a clutch kit for $500. I can go slightly over, but not much. I already have a new slave and master cylinder to put in as well as a new flywheel.

 

Anyone tried the Hay's 85-125?

It's a little over my price range but I can swing it. Just trying to explore my options. Spec Stage 2 is looking like my best option as of now.

 

mcleod makes a organic/ceramic disc for about $200. then buy a auto parts store replacement clutch for $200 and use the mcleod disc.

the organic/kevlar disc they discountinued and now offer the organic/ceramic. they also just have a organic/organic disc but a auto part store organic one will hold up as well as that.

 

this would be sig material if it wasn't for the fact that i already pissed someone off to be rewarded with my current sig lmao

 

Just get a stock clutch from Autozone. $220. When it comes to the LT1, almost every aftermarket clutch uses a STOCK pressure plate, due to the fact that it is a reverse style clutch, and there are very limited options. The only thing you are getting with an aftermarket clutch is a different disc. I can get you a dual friction disc or a ceramic disc for about $150 . So there you go, well under $500
