Default T56 Magnum/6.0 what clutch do I use?

Hi there, I'm shopping for a clutch for a future project. It's an LY6 6.0 that I have a T56 Magnum for and have a Quicktime Rm-8020 bellhousing on the way. I'm wondering what application clutch I need to buy to mate this up. I've think I've read both 2010+ Camaro and also 4th gen f body? Thanks in advance for the help.

Your choices are wide open. Any LS flywheel with a 6 bolt pattern will work, then you watch the clutch to the flywheel.

If this is a relatively mild engine then the LS7 clutch and flywheel is a nice combination. As I said, your choices are almost unlimited.

The plan is to run it n/a for a bit then turbo and make my wallet hurt haha. I figure buy one clutch to start that will hold 1000hp? And not waste money on replacing a weak clutch.

Again, your choices are almost unlimited: Monster, Center Force, McLeod, etc....

Ok thanks, so application I'm buying for doesn't matter too much. I was actually looking at the center force dyad clutch. Is a LS3 for a 2010 camaro a 6 bolt flywheel?

Yes. The only LS engines that do not have the 6 bolt flywheel are the LSA/LSx (454, 376b...etc..), use an 8 bolt flywheel, and the LS9 that uses a 9 bolt flywheel.
