Im assuming the GM LS6 OEM clutch I saw on MTI website is the same as a Z06 clutch kit? It seems reasonable for 425 bucks for clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel

anyone try this setup?

DaddySS

Yes - 01+ clutch for f-bodies is the same as Z06

Whatever you get is eventually going to wear out, even if it's over kill now. If you are looking for a great bargain setup, the LS6 kit is the way to go. I think MTI's price is a little much though. Shop around and you'll be able to get it to your door for less than $400 i'm sure. Hell, just stop down by the dealership and see how much they might want. PN 12581650

FWIW: I've been making 4krpm clutch dump passes on the LS6 kit with Nitto's and it's still bogging. I am even getting tire in 3rd still. That's testament to this clutch not being junk.

Now, I'll say that a Spec setup might be better, but if you've got minor things done, and it's not going to be within the next month for a ton of things, then the LS6 setup is excellent. I went with the LS6 setup because it comes with the flywheel, is a fair price, will probably be a year before I am making 400hp at the crank, and I feel that buying a real heavy clutch seems to be more of a bandwagon thing rather than a necessity.

i just got a Z06 clutch, just put 400 miles on it, i had a spec stage 2 b4. i love my new clutch, it'll lay rubber no problem at all clean though 3rd. isn't quite of a beast of a clutch as my spec 2 but it sure is nice and is no doubt better then stock!

Considering I went thru 2 ls6 setups that didnt last. I went with a spec 3. I have the older spec and have zero chatter and I am happy with it.

I just ordered a ZO6 clutch kit from Scoggin Dickey for $324 before shipping and $115 for the slave w/ throwout bearing. Seems fair enough.
What was wrong with the 98-00 slaves anyway?

Mine was slipping with 385 rwhp and sticky tires......it'll hold 450 rwhp only if you drive like a grandma.

What power were you making though?

I think this clutch is fine for 350rwhp. Hell, it's holding on my buddies G5X3 car.

400 rwhp. And I baked both clutches So I figured I would upgrde. Not jumping on a band wagon either. I just wanted something to hold. I will really be testing this clutch once the blower is all finished. As of right now I have a t 56 being pulled to get viper internals

i beilve the old slaves were aluminum rather then steel thus made them more durable; what i've been told atleast

i dont' know, i just called them and told them what i wanted.
the only problem with ordering from them is that i had to look elsewhere to find the slave, since they mainly deal with Corvettes.

See, there is a legit reason to switch. I'd agree that's really past the limit of the Z06 clutch. When I mean people jumping on the bandwagon for a Spec or whatever are people with just exhaust and stuff. They are making around 350rwhp, and the LS6 setup should work just fine - IMO anyway.

Going to order from carolina for 360 to my door w/flywheel.
