I use spec

friend uses Monster

Just dont be one of those guys that use an LS6 or LS7 clutch..

your building a car for power, why use a stock GM clutch? get something to handle more power and last longer.. the cost will probably be similar anyway

What kind of power are you pushing?

How good are you at driving with a clutch?

SPEC makes a SPEC 3 or SPEC3+ which is an all around good clutch for high power engines. The center hub is springed for street driving. If you are good at driving a springless clutch then you can get the SPEC 4 or if you want they make a SPEC 5 which is more of a pure race style clutch.

Springless clutches take a little more finess when driving on the street because you don't have the springs cushioning the bite. Think of a springless clutch like a true on/off switch. It is engaged or not engaged that is it. Very little slippage. But when racing on the strip, You have full pressure which makes the RPM/power during shift have near zero loss due to slippage/cushioning of the springs. Takes a little bit of getting use to it, But for getting max power quickly to the wheels it is the best way to go.

I am using a 6-puck SPEC 3 clutch. (They didn't have the SPEC 3+ back then or I would have chose that one) I've had it since I did the swap 5+ years ago. Have had no problems with slippage. Car has seen the strip, road courses, and street driving. Never had an issue.

glad you found the problem and it was internal

Ain't that some shit. I'm glad it was just something minor. Just a heads up on a clutch I would stay away from centerforce. I found it to be a waste of money. I'm trying the SPEC Stage 3+ in mine now.

spec 3+ are what a lot of guys use...no need for you to ask how it is. it works and works well. it can hold 600hp no problem.

Picked up the new ls7 clutch today and it sounds just like the old one. I guess that is how they come. i guess I am gonna have to drop the k member and oil pan to check the rod bolts. :thumbdown:
