LS2 or LS7 clutch. LS2 clutch is rated to 500hp, LS7 to 600hp.

btw pics required of said vehicle. & not your ancient cardomain pics.

A spec brand clutch will be fine, i dont think the normal LSx/ clutch's will work with the smaller north star flywheel arrangment? Or is it the same?

I wonder if this is 1quick with a new handle?




Do you have powdercoated C6 wheels on it?

no this isnt 1quick..

also when I say V6 clutch size that doesnt mean suggest V8 Dan lol

also anyone have any experience with Spec clutches chattering?

The Spec 3 chatters pretty bad in my buddy's 91 LX.

The 2 in my car is perfect IMO. Smooth as silk, daily driveable with ease. Busted an axle last fall so the clutch definitely holds.

I went to Clutchmaster in Riverside on Saturday morning to pick a few display items and got to see their setup via a nice tour, I find it difficult to believe that they cannot put a clutch together considering the gigantic amount of varying parts they have at their disposal.

Speak to my guy Lewis at their headquarters, 909-877-6801, tell him you spoke to Scott with Massive Speed System and he will take care of you. I might actually have to stop by there again this morning, if I do I will bring this up.

Let me talk to Lewis, he may be able to one-off something for you and keep the price down.

Lewis states they can put that clutch together for you, give him a call. I stated it needed to be a v6 camaro clutch that can handle something south of 500hp.

Centerforce DF is always a good choice. Light pedal, and your not putting so much power down that it requires anything exotic. Otherwise, the Spec stageII as has been suggested is also a good choice.
