Light feeling clutch?
Light feeling clutch? I have a spec 3 right now and have been getting caught in stop and go driving lately and with it being very stiff its killing me.
I know about all the different brands of clutches and the ls7 but I'm afraid it wont be enough (car made low 400's at the wheel) but i need a light feeling clutch which one?

I'm normally daily driving, it really only sees the track maybe once a year. I've been looking into the ls7 plus the car is still on a 10 bolt so there will be no hard launches either.
Is a twin disc seriously a light feeling clutch? I'll look into that too, never drove one.

If you are looking at serious upgrades in the quadruple-digit range, get a twin disk. I recently put a Monster Stage 3 in my car and after 1000 miles the pedal has about as much resistance as it did with the stock clutch.
I'm not thats why I figured the twin was overkill.
I really need to find someone around with a stage 2 or 3 monster to feel it for myself, I'd hate to swap one in and it be just as stiff as my spec.

If you want a stock feeling clutch, you probably need to get a stock clutch. The LS7 fits that bill, and would probably hold the type of driving you do.
I run an RPS twin - it isn't stock pedal light (especially with the Tick master cylinder that has a larger bore), but it isn't far from it. There's a reason why you see high horsepower cars coming with twins straight from the factory (the ZR1 Vette comes to mind) - well...at least the ones that still require you to shift. They have excellent driving manners without requiring leg press pedal pressures.
Unless you plan on adding a whole bunch more power, though, a twin would be overkill. So back to my original recommendation - get an LS7 clutch and be done with it.

The Monster Level 2 and Level 3 fell just a fraction heavier than a stock clutch. Either will work fine with your power level, it just depends on how you will be driving the car.

1979...let me know when and where you bought this clutch? Do you know if it is one of the older 11" units or if it is a newer 12" unit. Let me know and I will be happy to assist you further. Thanks!
