Default Need a clutch recommendation

02 z28. Will be making around 450-475 rwhp. And then an occasional 150 nos shot. Car is a DD. what would be a good streetable clutch that isn't crazy expensive? Any suggestions for flywheel weight/material?

I didn't think the ls7 could handle 450 rwhp, not counting the nitrous. Maybe I was thinking of something else. Anyone have any thoughts on this

I have been debating bt monster and diamond for a while, but I have concluded that diamond stage 2 is the way im going to go. LS7 i have read threads where people have issues try to find one on Texas Diamond clutches.

Simply, there are a number of options available that will handle your planned torque while providing good drivability. I would suggest our Stage 2+ and steel flywheel which when paired together will provide great daily-drivability and capacity. Take a look at the link below and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!!

Monster, but I'm a bit biased.

Give us a call and we'll get you taken care of. We've got a better warranty, better customer service, and have been proven time and time again on the track. Our Level 2 has been high 10's, Level 3's have been low 10's, and our 11" Ceramic has gone mid 9's... can't say that about everyone elses singles that you can still daily drive.
