Hi
Thinking about clutches for the setup im building. Ultimately i'd like to have an lq4 fed by a single 71-76mm turbo (eyeing down a bws471/75) and make about ~600tq to the ground. I plan on daily driving the car.
Probably going to use an ACT prolite flywheel
After a quick look around the spec sc092 looks like a good buy at ~$360 and an advertised torque capacity of 690lbft. The ACT GM9-HDSS also seems to be a good deal with pricing from ~$400-450 and a torque capacity of 745lbft.
what do you like to run?

OP our Level 3 would be the best bang for the buck and is currently on sale till the end of the year for $125 with free shipping. I would never recommend running an aggressive friction material with a cast flywheel as this can happen...

I would love to have a twin disk, but its a little too much coin right now :/
I guess i'll throw a cheap stocker in until i really start making more power with the hair dryer. As the engine will be set in the car this winter/spring im planning on running a internally stock engine, ls9 camshaft, pro products intake manifold, and headers along with a tune. A stock clutch should be up to the task for a year or so right?

flows better then ls1/6 intake manifold (flow tested documents on this forum)
kit comes with fuel rails
for what i want to do aluminum > plastic (I know the advantages of a composite intake manifold, but i want to powder coat mine, and boost)
ls1/6 used intakes are way overpriced
can get the whole deal that will use the lq4 throttle body for ~450 via amazon.
ls9 cam less then 100 through local dealer
317 castings flow better then ls1/6 heads? thought i found that in a comparison thread here on the forum...

Reasons for using the proproducts intake:

It may flow better than a LS1, but not LS6. Our tuners turbo LS Stang runs 25psi through LS6 intake and 317s, it went 5.6@130 in 1/8. We have a twin turbo GTO here that makes 1145rwhp with a LS6 intake @27psi. Careful of Amazon/Ebay throttle bodies as I have seen many fail and cause WOT condition, sometimes you get what you pay for. 317 castings are what's on tuners stang and flow the same as 243, if octane limited run lower compression, but with 4" bore and lower boost I'd go L92/LS3 or LSA heads. How boost are you wanting to run and what valvesprings do you plan on running with the LS9 cam?
here is the post and dyno test i found on the forum:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...e-numbers.html
i'll probably run the stock truck TB to save money at first and when the engine comes out of the car for boost i'll decide exactly what to do then.
i'm limiting myself to prem pump gas for tuning (street car i want to be able to drive anywhere), so the lower compression of the 317 should help me out.
For the valve springs with the LS9 cam i'm planning on running the GM bee hive spring upgrade with stock lq4/9 1.7 rockers. I think these are the OE springs for the LS9 anyway... same springs car craft ran in this article:

Pro products has higher flow claims vs the ls6 for their intake manifold
