My girlfriend asked the other day..."How come your car makes so many horrible noises? I thought the Z06 was supposed to be a high-end car?....this thing sounds like a piece of ****." (I'm inclined to agree sometimes)

My Spec stage IV with over 50k miles on it is apparently one tough motha! But it still lets out the little pig squeal from time to time, usually when cold and in first gear. Its not nearly as bad as it was a few years/few 40+k miles ago though.

Again I ask ,who makes a good clutch & aluminum flywheel for our LSX engines? I had a SPEC and returned it because it was out of balance.
Now I have a Textralia and it sucks big time. I must have spent $3500 in clutches & flywheels and I have junk.

My SPEC IV has definetly held together well, but it isnt even close to a stock clutch in the way it drives.
A few friends of mine say the CARTEK clutch is the best they have found and they have been through several different brands(including the not so popular SPEC with the same results you had).
