That's the exact clutch set that I put in my car when I replaced the tranny. It grabs like no other but has a bit of chatter on take off. Shifts are very firm especially with a aftermarket short throw.

i was dead set on a Ram HDX which is what i bought my camaro with. its 380 new from Summit, so last 6 months or so i was thinking itd be around 400 total once flywheel gets cut. so i finally deciding to get one and since i have to pay my parents back for the credit card purchase i figured i might as well upgrade, that way ill get a better product and wont feel bad abuot dishing out the extra dough, cause ill be obligated to pay them back.

im gonna start on it tomorrow and see how far i can go by myself and should be done by mid day friday im hoping at latest.

it was 500. also ordered some VHT niteshade from Summit.

im hoping with this new clutch and the nittos i can actually put down some nice numbers at the track. we'll see.

haha. lmao. alright for real tho...the car has no ***** outa the hole and low end wise, but once i get the engine spinning the clutch seems to grab better and it pulls a little better up around 4k and above. w/e it will be nice having the full LT1 powerband again with a good clutch.hehe. passing on the highway in 6th gear might be an option again.hehe

Looks like a decent clutch, I don't think it would hold up in my car for too long, but should do you fine until you really put on the ponies.

Make sure you break that clutch in before you try going to the track with it!!

sorry paar, but i get dirty when i work on cars and try to keep the camera as clean as possible. so eat me.lol

Joe, yea the clutch is rated to 500 and i figure it will be plenty for me, even if i add a wet kit. i plan to go to the track in a few weeks, ill be taking the car on a long trip next weekend however my town is very stop and go, lots of stop signs so it will get a nice break in period for sure.
