Best clutch for 400hp LNF ?
Hey Folks, I am leaning to k04r turbo soon and I wanted to know which clutch that can hold up k04r ? I've been seeing ky s3 clutch failed here. I am either in between gmpp clutch or south bend s4 clutch. Which 1 of those clutch is the best route to go ? I want to use my car for daily driven and blast to drive at the same time.

We have sold over 500 cobalt KY Performance kits. There are a handful of those who had issues, ky has helped out and fixed all of them that the customer was willing. Ky will never give up and say tuff luck, they stand behind their products. I have one on my 08 ss/tc for many years with no issues. I have driven spec and I like my ky much better.

Lol get a gmpp I bet it will hold everything a k04r can throw. Some Ppl with zfr's run a gmpp around 400's it does fine u can tune not to waste your clutch by boost ramping etc.

i dont trust the stock flywheel materials with the 3+ i had one chew up a f23 flywheel real good. now while i understand the f35 flywheel is better i still dont run the risk and i like the fact that spec balances the flywheel and clutch together as an assembly when you buy both from them or an authorized dealer. I only had a bit of a chatter during cold weather the first 2-3 times engaging the clutch then it went away. Very good very comfortable clutch that holds a lot of power.

The 3+ from spec is a full face or I wouldn't of recommended it. Like I said I Dd my car and I don't like the noise, drovetrain shock and vibrations pucked clutches cause. I don't do pucked clutches in these cars nor have I ever had issues with the 10-12 I have put in what so ever. do not do the regular stage 3 because it is a pucked clutch. I also do not recommend south bend. I've had more then one spring retainer break apart in their clutch in customer cars ehich were installed by other parties. so I won't be using them.
Btw I know it's about torque.I used power as a general reference. Hense how I didn't put Hp.

Ky clutch in general is a bad idea. Sure they might take care of parts but are they reimbursing the time to remove the trans or paying the cost back of you payin to have someone keep taking it out and putting it in? Of course not. So I would stay away from them until they figure their clutch out.
You should never resurface the flywheel in these cars period. Doesn't matter who's clutch you use. They tolerences are easily blown and it's so minimal it's not worth taking the chance.
The 3+ is hands down the best clutch money will buy in this car and probably is one of the easiest to drive.
