Default RPS Clutches

well I got four RPS twin carbon carbon clutches in to install in some corvettes.

Putting the full street carbon carbon in a 500rwhp C6.

another one in a 440ci LSX C5

the billet twin with lighten billet steel fly wheel is going in a 700rwhp c5 vette. 32lbs. Not to light for the street but light enough for the road course.

The billet triple disk is going in a 447ci F1r C6 Z06.


Will post up with how they perform. as the cars are finished.

Also the lighten billet steel flywheel is a custom piece only availiable through Tony Mamo.

Look nice. Hopefully they will be quiet, smooth engaging and strong with their holding capacity.

I am very happy with my stock LS7 replacement, but as I search to get faster I wish I would have gone with something lighter at the flywheel. Thanks for posting -keep us updated as they go in.
