I have no idea either. Its not like they dont sell em alot

 

Wow you're a d1ck. I've owned every generation of F-body except the first, and done every mod to each one myself (save for welding), so don't assume I don't know anything. As for the times, the (stock disc) clutch was a goner, which is why I just replaced it with the SPEC. I'm sure you could get 1.6 short times with less than 85% of the power reaching the rear. Get a clue. I've already got two PMs from people saying not to worry about you because you're known to be a jerk.

 

Another vote for the McLeod Street Twin clutch.

 

As far as I remember from the McLeod price sheet, the Street Twin for a 4th gen is no more expensive than a comparable unit for other cars.

It's an awsome clutch and well worth it. Mine survived two years of street/strip use with 733rwhp. This included three or four of my "patented" 3rd gear strip launches . Just one of these boners would have fried the other available clutches. In addition, most of my strip launches invlolve some clutch slip, that's what worked the best. That's a 4,000lb+ car with over 700rwhp.

After I wore it out, I sent it back and they completey refreshed it including resurfacing the flywheel for <$400 including shipping.

Don't bother with anything else.

I liked my SPEC clutch. I used a stage 1 W/ organic disk &

Fidanza aluminum flywheel. It was nice and smooth, easy to

drive. My, Hot Cam W/ Hooker LT ,car puts 345 HP & 345 TQ to

the wheels N/A & 430 HP & 500 TQ on a 100 shot. The clutch

lasted all last summer with no problems. I had alot of street use

and some strip use, I ran 12.91 @ 110.9 N/A street tires (about 5

passes 1.9-2.1 60'), and I ran 11.5- 12.001 @ 117-119 MPH on

Hosser Drags (26X10X15) 10 PSI (about 15 passes 1.63-1.71 60'

@ 5500-6000 RPM clutch drop). It just now started to feel a

little "mushy" , so I am replacing it with another SPEC clutch

probably a kevlar. My stage 1 clutch blew out 3 10 bolts and 1 LS-

1 aluminum DS... well the N2O & slicks helped a little. If your car

is mostly stock just save your $$$ and get a stage 1.

 

its definetly not stock

 

No, I'm not a d1ck. Sometimes you just have to make your point to get people off the bandwagon. Well, blaming the clutch doesn’t explain all of your 60' times. I've pulled 2.0 sixties on a burnt up slp disk on eagle F1's. You get a clue and get off the spec clutch bandwagon. As for people PM'ing you, that's really nice, seeing as I haven’t posted on here for 6 months since because I haven’t had a computer. Sounds like someone has a chip on their shoulder, maybe it was another spec "fan".

 

Another vote for McLeod Street Twin.. Everything else is crap in comparison.

 

Call it whatever you want. I've seen the Spec perform, and it was the right choice for me. Especially since it allowed me to reuse the LT4 PP. Maybe you're on the Street Twin bandwagon just the same, you're entitled to an opinion. The original author asked for recommendations, and all you did was bash mine without adding anything positive or helpful to the thread. Its not like the Spec is an armed grenade like the Centerforce DF. You dont know me, you dont know my car, and you dont know the quality of the track I've run at (which is wet pavement, on a good night). Thanks for ruining a perfectly good thread.

I have the sudden urge to go buy a Street Twin...

Make that 5 PMs. Gone for 6 months and they hate you that much? Ouch.

 

Come and Ride my street twin band wagon as i chirp 4th gear on ur a$$ (its still Bolt On too ).. IMHO For what "most" people want .. Which is the "Feel" of a performance clutch then SPEC is the way to go.. But if you want the "performance" of a peformance clutch.. You should by all means get a street twin.. cause their is no other clutch out there w/ the capability in its "out of the box" form to handle 900hp and thats the mild disk's .. So spend less now pay more later.. not my problem.. I have had spec in the past and was Less than amused.. but i can do a whole clutch job now in under 3 hrs.. Thank you Spec..

 

I got the street twin and am very happy with it. There was a bit of chatter with it until it was broken in. Now it is very streetable

 

btw the twin uses a valeo plate (lt1/4) so your point is moot.. btw take a look at what a street twin does to a bolt on car

I never said the McLoed was a bad clutch. I simply made a recommendation early in the thread. My intentions were and are to help the author, not hijack the thread and **** on everyone elses opinions.

 

I can chirp em through 4 N/A, and I don't think the author has 900 hp, so comparing a full on race clutch with a warmed up street clutch is point less. If the time comes when I need a street twin I will buy it, but for a bolt on daily driver it is a little excessive.

 

Dang. Im half way through installing a new Spec Stage 3 carbon disk clutch and new PP. From what I was being told the stage 3 sounded good. Keep in mind I would rather buy a new clutch than have to pull a couple "g" out of my butt to buy a 12 bolt or 9" when the street twin breaks my rear end or maybe even the input shaft on my tranny. Nobody seems to be mentioning that.
