Whats the best Preformance Clutch to get?
 
I want something more then stock. My first clutch has about 17k miles on it.

this is interesting...

Well, that depends on what kind of car you have. Normally, for a high-powered vehicle go with Centerforce Dual-Friction.

stickyfingerz 12-13-2005 10:36 PM

Ya centerforce 2 clutch.

remember, don't do it half assed and skip having the flywheel resurfaced

I might as well buy a new flywheel lighter.

With the Centerforce, it's usually a good idea. One thing about the centerforces though, the peddle resistance is increased (takes more to push in the clutch), so it's something to note if your constantly in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

i don't know about specifically about your car, but ACT makes some great clutches.

how far are you planning on going with this?

are you willing to sacrifice some driveability for better performance?

no, you don't need a lighter flywheel, does nothing to enhance the clutch anyways and not for a street car as this only helps hi rpm race motors.

also some engines are externally balanced and the flywheel has to be balanced with all the other reciprocating parts, so if you change it out make sure it's right

like a chevy small block 400 is externally balanced

smack 12-13-2005 11:02 PM

exedy makes some great clutches too. and they definately have one for your car.

I figured that If I got HP Kit... (comes with Clutch/Fly/Throwout bearing)

1999 LS1 5.7L V-8 SS Camaro SLP Exhaust SLP pkg

smack 12-13-2005 11:07 PM

yeah, i wouldn't want to piss around putting a new clutch in either. that's something best left to someone with alot of experience doing it.

aren't you a member of any car forums? that's the best resource for things in your area. i've found a couple reputable shops in my area from boards.

Yeah, But I take forums "car forums" like GFY Doctors/lawyers. Everyone has a new way to make the car just " " that much better. Same thing when you hit the 1/4 strip everyone will tell you to add this or do that.

I need to look info a shop that has some credentals
Not some Cheap Cold air intake with give you 15HP BS Sales person

depends if you want to go all out, sounds like you do, might as well get a steel bellhousing then to go with the setup.

when a clutch blows it comes apart with supersonic velocity

many a drag racers have had their feet and legs cut off in the early days before they required them to compete

smack 12-13-2005 11:14 PM

that is why i actually like the forums. of course there is all the hired bullshit, but you can search for tons of info about all the vendors and weed out the chumps that way.

some of the larger forums even have sales rating system for their preferred vendors.

of course, some of the best transmission work is done by toothless hicks in small backwater shop, especially for your engine/car.

Deej 12-13-2005 11:14 PM

stop it you guys....Im getting a boner.....Mine has a twisted driveline....and chipped pinion.....and i havent ran over any trees in over a year......

AFK .... rubbin one out on the Peterson fourwheel mag

smack 12-13-2005 11:15 PM

and that's no knock on hick car work. most of the time the best person for the job is the one who has been taking apart similar cars and engines wince they were young.

stickyfingerz 12-14-2005 07:50 AM

Btw I believe thats a manual clutch system in that car so, Id recommend a haevyduty clutch cable if you go centerforce. If it breaks you will get stranded. Happened to me using a stock cable in my stang.
