Best Customer Service Expierence, Ever!
Wow, I spent a good hour or two on the phone with Dave at Combination Motorsports trying to decide on a clutch (Stage 3, 4 or Mcloud street twin), trying to think of something for exhuast, brake upgrades and discussing suspesion options.
Not cool enough? Hows this!
I get off the phone with him and he calls me back an hour later. He called Spec, found a guy that has a built LT1 F-body and autocrosses. Then he called me back with telling me the guy said he didn't like his stage 4 and got a stage 3. The stage 3 works really well for autocross apparently. He gave me all the prices, all the options and prices for the options. I was FLOORED.
In the end, I went with a Stage III "package" (with their new 6 puck design), a steel flywheel over an aluminum one, Jet hot long tubes and opted against their Y pipe. Going to go with KYB adjustable shocks, eibac (sp?) prokit and some other goodies over the winter (no time to install this stuff now
)
Im still undecided on brakes though.
Anyway, I was pretty floored they went to that extra mile to help me make a decision

Guys, remember this next time you go to order parts from someone that can save you $15 on something.

maybe one of these days I'll be smart enough to ask prices instead of just giving them a credit card. I just randomly get bills in the several thousand dollar range from them
...anyone know what a spec stg III clutch goes for?

If you are going to autocross the car then why not go with an aluminum flywheel? Less rotating mass = faster revs 
. Also I would have recommended against a Spec clutch. I have seen at least 3 of those clutches fall apart. I would had gone with a McLeod Street twin.

Glad to hear you had great service...what mods do you have to even justify thinking about a street twin?

If its just a bolt on car the street twin is way overkill in my opinion...not that it would be a great clutch cause it would...but I think you made the right choice in not going with it. Switching out just a clutch/flywheel is much better then the work entailed by putting in a street twin.
