Post #976 about Clutches
When search "clutch" it only find three threads? Anyway, I did heads, cam 224, TPIS, Blackwing, Stingers, should be around 420rwhp. I want to do the clutch once. I road race and run hard on the street. Drag maybe 10 times a year no slicks. Is the stock Z06 assy strong enough? The car has 65K miles and drove fine before H/C. Now it slips over 4 grand (3-5th) and whenever I powershift. The throw out bearing is also squealing now:rolleyes: A buddy has a SPEC 4 disk with a spec 3 PP. Guess I also need the Z06 slave and drill the restrictors? Sorry to repeat posts, thanks! :seeya

My Z06 clutch blew out with the mods in my sig. I was on street tires too. Maybe i just got a bad one from the factory but the car only had 5k miles on it when it started to fail.

If I didn't go with the RAM VDS system with the 910 DISC
I would definately go with the Spec Stage 4 Ceramic.
Both have great holding power from what I have read. Very minimal problems posted about either, and they are both very affordable.
My RAM was slightly more because of the billet flywheel, but I assume they would roughly be the same price otherwise.
BTW,
Did that clutch make its way back to the shop :confused:

My factory Z06 clutch has turned to mud after 10k and has been difficult for the last 3k and I've only been to the track twice (but I did use ET Streets). I do a little weekend racing with the local guys. My rwhp is simular to yours, but not untill I had about 4k on the car, so after 3-7k I finished the factory clutch.
