Default Need Help Picking A Clutch
So, I got my C5 torn down to switch from nitrous to twin Precision 6766 CEAs and I discovered my clutch has seen better days. I'm gonna hafta replace it since I have it apart. Even though it held like a rock for me, I think it is on borrowed time.

I am looking for a clutch that will hold 1,000ish whp. I intend to put down between 1,000 - 1,100rwhp. It has to be able to be daily driven while still not melt down at the track lol. Right now I am looking at the Monster LT1-SC twin disc.

Depending on how close your going to be to 1000WHP, and how much track time the car is going to see. You may need to look at the LT1-R.

Give us a shout so we can go over details, and get you setup with the best option.(817-750-2000)

Check out RPS's full carbon setups. Did a full street twin in my Z last winter and have been very happy with the unit this summer.
