Go run some searches for Ram, Spec, Centerforce and McLeod in the Manual Transmission forum. You will get more than you want to read there . Then go visit a sponsor on th right ---->

I'd get a ram 910. If you want a light pedal I'd get the z06 clutch kit. (if you plan on staying stock or bolt-ons only) I've got the z06 and it's holding fine. I'm close to 400rwhp.

How long has your ls6 held for you and what other upgrades did you do? I am going with a custom grind 232/238 cam come spring time and im still on the stock clutch and want to upgrade but dont want to be throwing over a thousand dollars into the clutch as I dont go to the track more than maybe once or twice a summer if that. It would mainly be a street driven car (not a daily driver) with street tires that wouldnt see hard launches, so would the ls6 clutch be enough?

You should be fine.

I have close to 15xxx on my Z06 no problems yet.

Wow thats awesome, yea i think i might have to go with the ls6. Besides the clutch what else is needed? DO I need a new flywheel, master cylinder (since mine is a 98), etc? Also where would I get one online? Thanks!
