Default Clutch recommendation, please.

The car is a driver with 3.90 gears and bolt-ons. I don't need anything crazy.

Thanks!

Master cylinder? Remote bleeder?

I have the Mantic ER2, I running about 550 RWHP, feels a little stiffer than stock. Mantic says its good to 650-700 RWHP.

As for master cylinder and remote bleeder I have Tick.

mcleod and act are also good brands to look at... I highly suggest shying away from an oem clutch and going with a good aftermarket unit, you won't want to go back and do all the work over again when the pedal still sticks to the floor or you can't shift in high rpms with oem clutches... you might also consider getting a clutch that will hold more power than you have that way if your plans change you will have some room to grow into it

Are you seriously telling me that the pedal sticking to the floor thing hasn't been fixed? That happened in my 1999 Trans Am way back when. This 2001 Corvette had an aftermarket clutch when I bought it, so I've never had a problem with it. It actually still seems to grab fine, but I've put 100K miles on it and since I'm tearing all apart, I'm doing the clutch.

I thought for sure the answer was going to be a C6 Z06 clutch, or something like that. Damn.

So, Tick master and bleeder?

I'm going to go with the Mantic clutch and flywheel. If it's good enough for ECS, it's good enough for me.
