ISO: LNF clutch and fuel lobe

I have a 2009 cobalt SS FBO and tune.
recently my clutch went out and after some research I found I’ll be taking the LSJ clutch upgrade kit.
i as well will be going full E85.
I was seeing if there are any retailers or sellers selling a GMP clutch kit and camshaft fuel lobe or any links that can point me to the right direction. Thank you.

I just got the lsj kit from zzp but they do warn that it might not hold the torque for an lnf so i would double check that

I wonder if that's different from what CED sells. CED states "This kit is capable of up to at least 570 Nm (420 ft lb)"

100% Same kit.

ZZP is limiting their liability related to the power ratings quoted, as they should. The GMPP was originally marketed towards replacing the terrible LSJ clutch with a "factory" LNF setup, but using a different clutch disk vs the standard LNF clutches. They quote not holding up to an LNF as it was basically already what they came with.

CED has the 420tq(crank) rating as it's been shown to hold up past what it was originally marketed as, but it's still not KY/Spec/CM level clamping capacity.

If you want any info on how well it holds up, I have a thread going for a long term review on the LuK flywheel where I used this clutch. Mines survived 60k so far with it seeing full bolt-on K04 power from day one, and Z54/Z57 power for over half of that.

I ended up buying the KY Clutch stage 3 last night with TOB/ Slave. Hopefully it works fine since I’ve been reading up on it and people have had mixed reviews. Then again those reviews are way before 2016. I’ve seen that the KY’s have been updated since then. Fingers crossed for when it does come in next week 🙏🏽

I got my GMPP Clutch Kit from Crate Engine Depot has been on my car for about 18k now. It took the K04 and K04R at 25 psi for 10k miles and now Z54 at 23 psi for 5k+ miles with no slippage. Deff a good bang for your buck

Fuel Lobe cam I'd just get new from www.zzperformance.com. There are other vendors for our cars too. Over The Top Performance, Bad News Racing, etc..I've bought parts from all the listed vendors with no issues.
