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!

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?

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

the only problem with ordering from them is that i had to look elsewhere to find the slave, since they mainly deal with Corvettes.

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 ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
