Question What Clutch is Everyone Using?

I thought it would be cool to compile a list of what clutches people are using. This way, we could all get an idea of what the popular clutches are these days. Perhaps this could be a sticky one day if enough people fill out the poll. You can select more than one if you have swapped between AFTERMARKET clutches. If you went from Spec to McLeod, select both, but if you went from stock LS1 to Ram, just select Ram.

If you want to post what clutch you are using and maybe some info about it that would be cool, but not necessary. I think I got most of the common clutches. If I missed one, please post it.

Thanks for looking!

I have a few year old cartek.It seemed ok but adjustable masters seem to be a bit annoying to have to run. It has slight chatter afer break in was horrible to break in though. It also seems to have a bit more pedal pressure than I like with current mcleod billet master.Was going to go ls7 but not sure with my newly ordered twin turbos it will be up to the task.Now think get textralia. Just the single one.
I am very worried about rear ends and have heard both good and bad for the strange and moser so really can't decide which of those to get.
You would think it would be easy enough to build a good rearend.

I put a Spec 4+ with Alum. pressure plate option on my car this past weekend.

Not too bad so far, a bit grabbier (is that a word) than my stage 3.

Good engagement though, able to slip it some.

Centerforce here. I'm not too impressed with it. It was ok with stock motor. Once headers and cam got installed it won't hold too well. I guess it could be that I have the 11 inch version.

Had a Ram 420/910 disk/ Fidanza Alum flywheel...held 410rwhp for 15,000 to 20,000 miles. Hated traffic and chattered like crazy. Now I have a Spec stage 3+/fidanza alum and 440+ rwhp....I absolutely LOVE this clutch! Very smooth non-chatter engagement great holding power. The pedal effort is also MUCH LESS than the Ram which had a very heavy pedal.

My clutch just gave out this week. Its my 2nd Spec Stage 3 and this one lasted 20K+ miles as did the last one. It didnt like the new found power.

I'm either going 3+ or textralia.

In my experience, the LS1 and LS6 clutch is the same part. I bought an LS6 clutch/Flywheel kit and the part numbers were exactly the same as what was taken out of our bone stock(Owned since brand new) 02 WS.6.
