Default which clutch?

Okay i tried the search but people are very vage for some reason. I have a 3500 and lowering pound camaro with a m6, 3" steel ds, and 9" rear with 27 tall slicks. okay i just got done dynoing the car and it make 608 horsepower and 638 torque to the wheels on nitrous with the ram powergrip HD slipping on the dyno. i rev the car to 6800 rpm and when this motor blows i have a new ls2 high compression solid roller motor spinning to 7000 rpm that will hopefully make 600-620 rwhp and then do a 200-250 two stage nitrous shot. car sees maybe 5-7 trips to the track and does not go down the street more than 2 miles if that. to me a prostock car is streetable so i am cool with any clutch. which clutch is the best for me so i never need to change again.

I would look into the twin disk clutches. And no clutch is your last clutch its a wearable part.

Based on the info you provided a Twin would be fine...of course, if you wanted to spend a little less and get something that is still capable of handling your power levels a Stage 5would work too. These units are rated to ~1200lb-ft at the crank. For as little road use as your car sees it would be something worth considering. You can contact an of our dealers for further assistance: T56 Rebuilds/Six Speeds, Inc, WS6 Store, Katech, GMMG, Livernois, etc... Let me knkow if you have any further questions. Thanks!
