what clutch??? my stock clutch is slipping every once in a while and i dont think its going to last long...... i want a good clutch and flywheel, would like to spend around $650 ....what would you guys suggest with the mods in my sig??? thanks
I just put my centerforce dual friction clutch in last night....i will let you know what i think of it. But i used centerforce b/c they have EXCELLENT customer service and i am a broke *** college student so i need all the help i can get! haha...But maybe look at the LS7 clutch...do a search on here and see what some people say about it. Hope this helps. Any more questions just let me know...good luck!
I got a spec stage 3 and it's had no problem handling a few 5500 rpm clutch dumps on et streets. It's not bad at all on the street. All together with a resurfaced flywheel and installation it was a little over $800

I'm going to go with the Mcleod clutch but I have to tell you that they are quite pricey...The kit with the steel flywheel is like $1100 but I think that is going to be the twin disk...You can look at different clutches by clicking on some of the sponsors on the right...I've seen the Mcleod on speedinc.com and I believe Thunderracing too...Just shop around for something that fits you and keep asking questions until that little guy on your shoulder says to buy it

i do plan on adding a little more power to the car, nos??? full built suspension, etc would a aluminum fidanza flywheel together with a ram clutch be a good set up ??? also what ram clutch would be suggested??? the powergrip clutch or the ram hdx set??? thanks
If you're man concern is drag racing, which it most likely is, then get the steel flywheel over the aluminum. Aluminum is good for road racing because it does let the engine rev faster and all but a steel flywheel stores more energy when you launch (more mass spinning at a given rpm). But do you plan on using any sticky tires and doing high rpm clutch dumps? If not, maybe an aluminum flywheel would be worth it. Maybe someone can jump in and clarify that point a little bit.
