Re: New Clutch (MattS4313)
Speed Demon sent me a SPEC stage III carbon fiber clutch/new pressure plate/new throw out bearing/alignment tool for like $500.00 shipping included. But these are fancy schmancy clutches. A replacent for stock can be had for like $200.00ish at Autozone. The flywheel is a whole other matter tho. I bought a used dual mass flywheel off a 40k mile wrecked vette for $200.00

Re: New Clutch (MattS4313)
Matt I dont have 800hp Its just supposed to hold 800 hp. my car makes "maybe" 340 at the rear wheel's I'm not really sure I havent had it on a dyno. But I've been thru 2 clutches in 2 years so I'm praying it will hold my measly gestamated 340hp. :cheers: :seeya

Re: New Clutch (MattS4313)
If that's the case, then I wouldn't go with anything more extreme than the SPEC stage II. That's what I have and it's going onto my stroker LT4. It will still hold great if you decide to add a few mods (and judging from your other posts I assume you are), but it's not much different from stock. Also look at the Mcleods. :cheers:

Re: New Clutch (MattS4313)
hopefully a 1990 6spd w/80k miles, he said the clutch is going out, and i wanted to find out how much they cost...
I'm am currently running one in my nitrous ZR-1 and it works great. No need to spend one extra dollar on the aftermarket clutches.
Also, unless you have 150k mile on the car you don't need a new flywheel. just deglaze it with a scotchbrite wheel and install the new clutch.
