I've been looking at the forum for a few months. I seriously considered the LS7, but ordered Level II Monster last week. Car will go down the track on occasion. Arrived Saturday <TWO days shipping instead of one ;-) >
Installed Monday and drove it a bit. (< 50 miles). Pedal still engages close to floor, but ... NO CHATTER - NONE - not even a hint. Granted, I don't have big power 316/325 RWHP/TQ no mods, but very happy so far. Thanks Eric. Seems to have totally stock feel so far. I'll keep y'all posted.

1994 Z/28 (free and cheap mods) ex drag car, current AutoX, and daily driver.
2002 SS 35th LE Vert (OK, Moble 1 and K&N only) Yeah, It's been down a strip.

when i raced formula 2000's we could do pretty much cltuchless shifts and if we did use the clutch we would BARELY press it, like literally just tap the clutch like 5 or 10% of its travel super fast in between shifts, the shifts where so fast it was just like BAM next gear BAM next gear, there would almost be no pause between gear changes and acceleration. Of course this isnt the most easy to drive clutch style for the street, and unless you were going flat out, it wouldnt be the easiest and smoothest to drive either (although not horrible either), but is there anything like that for these cars?

Same for the shifters, some super short shifter that has super duper short travel from gear to gear? Our shifters had about 1.5 inches between gears, like 1st to 2nd or 3rd to 4th travel at the top of the shifter was about 1.5 inches or so. When the car was stopped it would be hard to put in gear sometimes not even going in, but once the car was moving, they would just slide in sooooooo nicely, firm but not hard, not alot of effort needed, and as long as u were smooth and preloaded the shifter slightly before changing, then you could change to the next gear soo smooth and FAST.

I just recently put a centerforce dual firction 12" with stock resurfaced flywheel, pedal feel is awesome and it grabs like a mofo... may bud had the 11" and had problems the 12"
the clutch to get can hold up to 650rwhp dosent chatter it did the first 400miles. I chose it because on spray my car makes 540rwtq go i didnt think the ls7 was going to hold up plus its heavier....

Dude, your car in your sig is just SICK!

Sorry for Off Topic, but his car is!

I am dangerously close to ordering a monster clutch.

I think the sale goes till the end of the month?

I am running 400rwhp/380rwtq. Mainly street driving, maybe 10-15 passes a year at the strip. Stock rear end and 275 street tires so I am thinking stage2 will do it. Open for opinions

Carlos_Garza · 12-21-2008, 01:03 AM

I'm using the SPEC 3+ but if I had to change my clutch, I would get Textralia OZ700 Clutch w/Steel Billet Flywheel LSx. I've heard that it's awesome.

03 BUSA · 12-26-2008, 03:25 PM

^^^ Till it's on the dyno and slips. Spec super twin for me. Seems to be the choice of alot of builders on this site.

The Level 2 will work fine, let me know if you have any more questions.

PlatnumStatuz · 01-06-2009, 01:41 PM

I like my spec 4

Seems like a good option for $400-$450 think is about what I paid

RacerXLs1 · 01-09-2009, 10:21 PM

I hate to hear that about your Spec, however, I'd recommend you taking a look at our website and shoot me a pm or call us with questions.

'nother vote for the LS7...

pHEnomIC · 04-30-2009, 10:46 PM

textralia!

ZMONSTER! · 04-30-2009, 10:56 PM

I would go with something monster, as they have a 12 month warantee. That being said I love my centerforce 12 inch DF. Havent had any problems with this one like the old 11 inch, and centerforce has awesome cutomer service.

But again with a warranty like that Id get a monster. and definetly get the tick adjustable master, completely changed the way the car drives!

CaMaRo67RS355 · 04-30-2009, 11:17 PM

Spec 3+ holds ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT thought about the monster but at the time of purchase they had just come out and didnt have much feedback on them

landonew · 04-30-2009, 11:45 PM

Ls7 is the way to go.

Look, what is the best clutch is very subjective.

What is your budget? How often do you want to replace it? How important is it that the clutch grips?

For your HP level, the ls7 is more than adequate. It will handle the power, feel like stock, and last for 30K miles. It is also the cheapest alternative.

For whats its worth, I would recommend a monster clutch or textrilla for anyone making more than 450rwhp. My ls7 is WHOLLY inadeaquate for my setup.... Spray or no-spray.

On a serious note, it would take me 6-months to put 500 miles on my car. What are the consequences of a shorter break-in period. I don't care about chattering, but I care very much about performance and longevity?
