Default H C I 02 Ws6 looking for clutch advice.

As header states i have a 02 Ws6 M6 that is currently getting mamofied 223 sporstmans , 227/234 114+2 LSA, mamofied 102 fast , 36 fast injectors, 102 TB , 100 MAF , 104 FTP lid, ssra , 1 7/8 ss Lts w ory .

Previous owner put an ACT twin disc clutch in but doesn't remember any details....... i'm new to the LS1 forums and all this so im asking you seasoned vets out there what should i run for clutch? Or if anyone knows anything about the ACT.
I also have a tick performance master on car.

I bought a Diamond stage 2. I don't think you can beat it for the price. I can't list the seller as I don't think they are a sponsor.

FWIW - I think both of these are also good choices.

McCloud twin disc RXT, it drives very well close to stock. It supposed to be able to hold 1,000 hp, which is way more than my car makes. Very happy with and would buy one again. ~$950 or so

RAM Powergrip HD, I didn't like this clutch at first. way too grabby and considered replacement. After it was fully worn in which took a good while, the RAM HD improved quite a bit. Now, it drives good. It's firmer than stock but I've grown to like the pedal feel. Rated to hold about 600 hp flywheel if I recall correctly. Less expensive than the RXT. I would consider buying again. ~$600 or so

I’d look into a Diamond Clutch. You can’t beat the price for what you’re getting and they’ll take a beating.

Two+ years and 20k on my RPS twin. Daily drive and beat the **** out of it whenever I want. Probably the least compromise clutch out there. But you pay for it...

While your current clutch can hold the power no problem, when I did my mamo induction package he sold me on a luk clutch he had. It's a single disc but the whole thing weighs about 42lbs, so it's a good deal lighter than stock (I think stock is 54?). Drives almost like stock, (its lighter weight so you have to adjust for that a little bit) but the engagement is smooth.

plus the clutch package doesnt cost all that much. If I remember something like 1/5th the rps package :p

I had a RAM HD behind a heads/cam LS1 making 440rwhp and it was crazy stiff and grabby.... while it did work.... it was not pleasant to drive.... For 500rwhp and less you could even run an LS7 clutch (needs LS2/7 flywheel).... If you have the $ I like the RXT for hard launches and the RST if not seeing the drag strip.

Just run that ACT as it will be good!
