Z06 clutch
Hey guys,
I'm in the process of doing ported heads, custom cam, long tubes and a custom tune...expecting around 415 at the rear wheels. Will a Z06 clutch/pressure plate hold up? The car is a daily driver adn I don't really want to deal with a heavy clutch pedal.
Any input or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Frank

Re: Z06 clutch (dtpracing)
The Z06 clutch is an excellent choice and good for up to around 500 RWHP with no worries. My 2001 is also a daily driver, 433 RWHP and 437 RWTQ (MTI dyno) and I replaced my entire C5 stock OEM clutch setup when the slave and master started locking my pedal on the floorboard - warranty coverage.
I had the dealer replace the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel (all 3 come as an assembly that you will want to have zero-balance machined before installing), throwout and pilot bearings, slave and master clutch. Used a 2002 Z06 setup. Been great ever since.
If you have to pay out of your own pocket the whole project - parts & labor - should run around $1500 or so.
Enjoy.

Re: Z06 clutch (dtpracing)
If you ever plan to drag race with slicks or even drag radials don't waste your money on the ZO6 clutch. I had one with bolt ons only. Probably right around 300 RWHP and smoked that thing 2nd time at the track. The first time I had the pedal sticking to the floor. I think it is fine for the street, but if you ever plan to hook, go with something tougher. Just my .02 cents
