Default clutch

looking to replace clutch in 03 Z06, not sure of which one to go with. Had C6 with paddle shift so I never researched clutches. Bought this to use on track HPDE events and street. Car is stock and not planning on upgrading for another year or so. Any opinions on brand and stage (ie..RPS stage 2). What should be changed. I already an aluminum fly wheel.

Thanks Ron

The paddle shifted C-6s are automatics. Before deciding I recommend you conduct a forum search on cluthes and read all of the available information. You will find that there is not a single aftermarket clutch that has not had some type of reliability problem and lots of opinions on the "best clutch" with little or no conclusive evidence as to why.
For an essentially stock car, the OEM clutch is probably the best clutch option in my opinion. If you want a bit extra, the LUK pro gold is a very good clutch, LUK is the OEM manufaturer for the GM clutch.

Many are using the GM stock clutch out of the C6 Z-06. contact Gene at GMPartsHouse.com

I thought about it also but didn't know if it would work besides the clutch should I purchase.
