Default LS9 Clutch torque rating

Hi, I have a supercharged LSA with a TVS2300. Making about 800lbs at the flywheel. The plan is to use an LS9 clutch with LPE 8 bolt flywheel.

Will this clutch hold up ok in a 2005 Monaro/Pontiac GTO ?

No it won't hold it and no it won't fit and work properly in your GTO. Yes Katech makes a kit but it grabs right off the floor as the stack height is incorrect.

Give us a call and we'll get you into a clutch that will work and won't break the bank. Our Monsters are on sale right now!

Monster's Twin plated are the **** and you will definitely find one for your application. The level two perhaps. I love my Level 1 but I'm not pushing the power you are so my 700wtq clutch won't help you. :-p
