Need some specifics...how much HP are you running?? How much more do you plan on having in the future (3-5 years)??

(On a side note, stay away from Centerforce...not the best for our cars IMO)

the pure and simple answer is Cartek. their clutch grabs like a ****.
if you plan to stay in the 400-450rwhp range the Z06 clutch is a good low cost option

I have a Centerforce in my 2000 SS and love it.

I have heard many camaro guys say it isn't good for our car, but heard Many just plain car guys say its the best.

I have put 7000 miles on it and there are no signs of it slipping or anything. Feels A LOT stronger then both my stock clutch and a zo6 clutch.

One of the biggest things when getting a new clutch is braking it in. Centerforce recommended 500 miles.

All I know is that you will love an aftermarket clutch way more then your stock.

Well in my opion the SPEC is by far the best clutch. I have had a Centerforce in my old LT1 and it started slipping after about 12000 miles and had to replace it. I have never had the cartek but they say it a good clutch. If you can aford a McClead then every on says there the best. Bang for the buck SPEC. Bring rubber in 4th gear.

I would strongly consider a McLeod clutch. I have one in my 67' and plan on replacing my stock one in my 00' SS when it goes bad.
