Yea, but what about for those of us who are less 1/4 mile jockeys and more track day guys???

I'm shooting for right at 400WHP/ 400#Ft. Torque.

Plan was to use a stock Z06 setup on my new motor...

Well, thanks for all the responses guys. Hmmm now I'll just have to take a shot and go with something. I'm thinking may be a LUK or Exidity. But now, who knows.....
This is the two that I narrowed it down too. Luk Stage II Pro Gold and the Exedy Single Disc. I have about 470 rwhp and plan to add just a tad more (maybe) and my tuner talked me into the Exedy. 450 and lower rwhp he said the Luk Stage II would be fine. Both have lightened flywheels which help revving the engine up quicker.

Howdy!

Any vendor recommendations for LUK clutches? If they're not a supporting vendor, feel free to IM me

Thanks -

LuK makes the stock Z06 clutch I believe.

Exedy is expensive but after replacing two Spec 3 in a very short period of time the Exedy would have saved me money....
