Clutch recommendation?
I estimate after the turbos are removed it will have 410rwhp with headers, cam, intake and tune.
Do I go stock or aftermarket? I want something that feels and drives like stock. Quite, no chatter, stock feedback..etc.. I currently have a twin disc Textralia that which won't be necessary after I remove the turbos.
Thanks.

Go with a Mantic single John, give me a call when you get a chance to discuss. I can set you up with another PCM ready for non boost if your doing the disassembly of the turbo's, then you can just mail me the PCM in your car when your done.

how many of you are replacing your own clutch? is it harder than replacing a clutch in any other car? I would think it might be easiey since you don't have to pull the tranny. Thinking of doing mine when it comes time so that is why I am asking...

From what I've seen its a lot more work. The rear needs to be dropped down to get the torque tube out of the way to get to the clutch. Nothing I'd want to deal with personally unless I was working with someone who had done it before.

You are correct, you should be receiving yours in by UPS today
thanks so much for the Mantic order, your going to love how great your 02 Z06 drives from now on...
Its takes one person with a little help about a 6-7hrs to do a clutch system in a C5 Vette, and if you have LT headers add 1.5hrs, plus its much easier if you have a lift...FYI, look up some DIY's on clutch installs, dont let the job scare you, 1000's do it every year on jack stands on there backs, oh yea tools help lol...

Hey Rob, I was thinking about that, otherwise the Mantic looks like its working out pretty well for ECS.
Doug! Thank you, I'm not cut out for city living, it's driving me nuts that I don't have my own garage. I've been going back and forth about what to do with the car but I think I have it all figured out. I'll give you a buzz at the shop.

I just had the same clutch put in over the weekend. Did you get to drive yours yet? Mine has the grab point at exactly the same spot as old clutch had. Very weird I never had that before. All new clutches I've had done where right off the floor not at top of stroke.

That LS9-Katech clutch looks very interesting.
I wish it was priced a little more reasonably though.
