Default Best streetable clutch for 450ish rwtq

Hey guys, I have a 99 m6 trans am I just had the tranny built with all the heavier parts, my question is about clutch replacement, I want a clutch that can handle 400-450ish to the wheels and still has similiar drive ability to stock. everyone keeps telling me spec, but i've had problems with chatter with previous specs i've ran... any input would be greatly appreciated!

Monster Stage 2 sounds good for you. 3 is the puck clutch (mine), and daily drivability starts to suffer - I do it (well, some days), and it is certainly tolerable, but is a little iffy in stop and go.

Yeah, i've been emailing him and I think it's sounding like the best one to go with, though he does seemed a bit bothered by the fact I have a 100 shot, but I never use it, it's been sprayed twice. should I have anything to worry about with that clutch and a 100 shot?

OEM LS7 /LS2FW setup may be good.

Level 2 is perfect for your goals/driveability needs. Let us know if you have any questions.



PS We are running a sale right now

We will discuss via email and or phone, a Level 2 should never be sprayed on... The violent torque spike from nitrous can cause issues.

Regardless, we'll discuss this today.
