Default Z06 cluch???

I thought I had my mind made up with the RAM stage 3 clutch. Everyone told me it was a great clutch for the money and few people have problems with them. I had a lot of other people tell me Z06 is the way to go for bang for the buck. I was told it will hold a headers,cam,heads package w/o any problem. So now i am starting to consider getting the Z06 setup now since it is solid ,cheaper, and comes with a new flywheel. Anyone run this setup? if so what are your experiances with it. (I will take the car to the track a few times/year).


One more thing I am debating on is the Hydro's. I planned on just updating the pilot,slave and to do the drill mod. I have had a few people tell me that it is a must to do the master, where others say slave, pilot, and drill mod should be fine. The thing is money is an issue for me, if I had a little more money I wouldn't even 2nd guess the new master, i would just do it regardless. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a good clutch if you're planning on staying pretty much stock. If you add heads,cam and headers it probably won't last long at the track with sticky tires.

as stated above, sticky tires will cause problems.

I have it and it has worked well for me for ~5000 miles or so. Just took it to the track and it liked the 150 shot of nitrous but this is on street tires cutting 2.00 60 foots. Sticky tires with ~500 crank HP may pose problems as mentioned. The clutch is rated @ 520 foot pounds of torque.
