Default Clutch Time!

Hello All,

I have a Z51 C6 that is turning out 600+ to the wheels.
I want a clutch that feels stock but can take the additional HP.
Who has the best combo for clutch and flywheel?
I would like to get it right thr first time.
All opinions welcome.

Thanks DBE

Our top sellers in order for you are as follows

1. Spec twin disc SS good for 800 ft lbs , we sell this clutch a lot for our Forced Induction customers and high out put NA guys. Great feel, and low chatter
2. Exedy twin disc, this is an industry leading clutch! But it is only rated for around 650 ft lbs of torque and can be over powered.
3. Spec Single disc clutch kit stage 3+ and alumnium flywheel

There are so many options out there, so by no means are these your only choices, I am mearly pointing out what we are installing these days, and selling on more demand, which has in turn a reflection on price, value, and quality. If you have any questions, or want to try and beat an advertised price please let me know.

-Brandon
