Default LsX clutch selection help 650hp range

Looking for some info or to be pointed in the right direction with what to run, I've searched here but not come up with much on this topic that helped me and I keep being recommended different clutches from everyone..


Looking at about 600-650HP NA (L92) at the flywheel.

Tranny is 4th Gen Fbody T56

Vehicle weighs about 3400-3600lbs

Will be used for street use, drift, drag, auto x, road course etc etc

Looking for something that doesn't have horrible road manners if/when its used on a daily driver basis..

I've heard some people say the OEM LS9 clutches work well and have stock pedal feels, but I heard there were some fitment problems on the older T56's vs the TR6060

Any help is much appreciated

I suggest either the SPEC Stage 3 or 3+ which both have more than enough capacity. The 3 will have a quicker engagement and be a bit more agressive as a result . The 3+ offers great road manners and an ever higher torque rating. Take a look at the link below and let me know if you all have any further questions. Thanks,

Anything over 550 HP you should run a twin disc and not run the stock nodular iron flywheel.

From personal experience the McCleod street twin will hold up to a sticky tire at the track but for me it does have a lot heavier peddle feel. I now have the McCleod RXT which has lots of hold and lighter peddle feel. These were both run with the McCleod master cylinder.

I recommend this also. It will chatter very very occasionally but its not even an issue really, to me anyway. Just saying because some people cry about it.

This is the Level 3 MONSTER. Do not order the light flywheel option, the regular steel billet flywheel will be perfect.
Why do you say this?

It's not really needed unless it's a more dedicated autox or track car. For the street and the strip the heavier flywheel is the way to go.
