The stock crappy clutch just will not do anymore... I need to know what is the best clutch for daily driven high performance. I have approx 430 horsepower right now... but have plans for a lot more performance...so, with that being said, what should I get? Should I get the high grade clutch that I am going to need in the future? Part numbers and manufacturets please, specs are a plus too. Thanks

 

I'd suggest a McLeod Street Twin. Expensive, but daily-driveable and can handle tons of power.

 

If you can afford it, the best clutch for running over 700 RWHP will be the Street Twin.

If you can't afford it, a SPEC stage IV will hold up just fine as well.

I currently am putting just about 600 to the wheels and my SPEC stage 3 is holding up just fine, and it feels lighter and easier to engage than my factory clutch in my Formula!

 

omg 1200 dollar clutch! I found it on summit, but it holds up to 1200 ft/lbs of torque! wow... what brand of stage 4?

 

Uh, what brand? SPEC.

 

Look around at the advertisers here. Quite often you can find the street twin much cheaper here.

 

Lol... I had seed some clutches on ebay that said "spec" in their names... and I thought that it meant spec like in engine specs or something lol... anyways, I dida google search and found out right after I made that post.... sorry guys, I'm a douche bag.

 

anyone else?

 

I have the Spec IV in my car, w/ 355hp at the wheels. I plan on adding another 200 with nitrous. Its not as bad on the street as lots of people said it was going to be. I'm perfectly fine with it.

 

get the twin, its about 1000 bucks, but comes with a billet flywheel and adjustable master cylinder, so its not too bad of a deal, and damn its tough. I daily drive a 520 rwhp trans am 250 miles a week in stop and go traffic, feels like my old wrangler

 

I would also recommend the Mcleod Street Twin. The kit is well worth the $1035.00 price tag.

 

The Street Twin is by far the best clutch out there for a hi-po LT1.

Another vote for the Street Twin. Looks like VRE has a good deal on it too.

 

I have heard that once your street twin does eventaully wear out on you, you can have it re-built time and time again for fairly cheep.

 

Well, my street twin just blew up yesterday… after not quite 6K miles, and almost no abuse (before that I got 28K miles out of a stocker + a lot of dragstrip passes and spray)
