Cartek Clutch

Does anyone have an opinion on the Cartek Clutch kit for a 1998 SS Camaro? What type flywheel should I use? Thanks!

My Cartek clutch and Firdanza aluminum flywheel work great. I have over 540hp at the rear wheels and the only problem I have is it is a little noisy when it is cold out. Do a search and see if you can find any people that are happy with the spec set up.

My Cartek clutch grabs like glue! However, as mentioned above, it is a little noisy when it's cold. Clutch pedal pressure is minimal and my only regret is that I used the Cartek M/C instead of the Ram.

I have heard a bunch of bad reviews on the Spec as that was my first choice until I started reading the reviews.

I love my cartek clutch...I got the hydrolics from them also. I have about 413rwhp and 458 rwtq and have had no problems. I have 81k miles on my car now still loving the clutch! When it is really cold out you will get a little chatter, but I have heard a lot worse chatter in friends LS1 cars.

The Spec is a great clutch also, but I have noticed in friends cars that they have more chatter than I do. I only have chatter a few times a year, when it is really cold in the morning.
