I hear the LS7 has problems, LS6 is way to weak. What is out there that is brickhouse tuff, but no chatter?

 

Our redesigned Cartek clutch is rated for 700RWHP/700RWTQ.

The clutch feel is very close to stock with a little firmer feel at the pedal and smooth engagement on every shift.

If you’re interested shoot me a pm.

In my opinion you're looking for something that doesn't exist.

The only clutches that are going to have truly stock drivability (pedal pressure, chatter resistance, quiet, etc) are going to be...stock-style clutches. LS6/LS7/Luk gold (I think that's what it's called). But none of them are going to be "brickhouse tuff". If you just like to cruise around and you don't run your car too hard (or race it), a stock style clutch will probably hold up just fine.

Any of the heavy duty aftermarket clutches WILL NOT drive exactly like stock. I've driven a bunch and they all have their issues. The high-end ones like Exedy, Textralia, Cartek, etc will hold a ton of power and CAN be driven smoothly enough. They will definitely not drive like stock, however. There is always some level of increased pedal effort, shortened engagement period, potential for chatter, most are noisy when cold, etc etc etc.. For example, I can launch smoothly in daily driving 8/10 times with my Exedy but if I let the revs drop a little too much, or go a little too high, it can rattle the crap out of the car.

My advice, if you're making pretty decent power (judging from your sig probably at least 425rwhp on a dynojet), then spend the money and get a high-end clutch. They are plenty bearable in daily driving and will hold the power without breaking a sweat. I've been driving my Exedy for about 3 years as my daily car with zero issues - I'm sure similar high-end clutches will perform the same. It's kind of a bear in stop-n-go traffic but I put up with it

Textrailia makes a good clutch, but it goes for About $1,200 just for the clutch.

I installed the Textralia x-grip. It is full face on one side, puck on the other. Drive's near stock, little more pedal effort but not bad. It is under $1,000 too. There is also one for sale in the for sale section that is brand new that someone has.

 

yes but if you do some research on some of the other brands it cheaper than a windsheild..

 

+1 for the Cartek clutch. No chatter and takes a beating, love it.

 

I love mine. No chatter and feels great! It uses the stock master and slave. It engages where my LS6 clutch engaged, not low like my LS7.

Very true, research is very important, for example some places can only produce high priced hand grenades that they call engines. You wouldn't want to buy anything from them.
