KY Clutch
Well the reason for replacing the clutch was cause I took it to the dyno, and first pull he couldn't do cause of slip issues. The whole time I thought it was just a traction issue. So got the KY clutch stage 3 installed about a week ago. About 600 miles later, clutch feels like stock. Replaced throwout bearing and just went ahead and got the flywheel resurfaced.
Now, the only difference I noticed with this is the engagement in first is a little tricky, but you definitely get the hang of it after driving in traffic. I been getting on it and it feels amazing! Just time for new tires!
Last test is to try to put in on the dyno again this week. I'll keep you posted.
And would deff recommend this clutch especially if your on a tight budget. Can't beat a 1 yr warranty and 3 day shipping!

Ive mine in for just about 2 months now and am very happy. Engagement controll is good now, lol. Ran mine on the dyno last month and on 3 cylinders i put down 392 tq and it held just fine. Prior to the duno i had it tuned w meth and it basically laughed in our faces while tunnin. LET ME MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, my dyno was NOT with meth, lol

CM- James or chevycobaltss3 is the one that got this going for us, his car is a built/big turbo running 498ishhp and over 500tq to the wheels and there is NO and i mean absolutely NO slippage on his car. If you wanna know more presise details on his car shoot him a pm and im sure he'll be glad to tell ya.

This is why I'm afraid to get this clutch.
From what I understand, No, unless you build tanny

So the ratio is like 2 in 10 people enjoy their KY clutch.
Still 100% ZZP clutch users are happy so I'd say that's like 15 of 15 so far. Only complaint was chatter.
Sooooooo.....
I don't know

Exactly how I feel, I keep hearing about clutch engagement being to high and I keep hearing about how this clutch doesn't allow any slipping so stop and go and easing forward sucks.

I did a few reviews in the KY Clutch thread in the Drivetrain section.
I did an initial review the day I put it in, a 1 week review and it just got better and better. Feels just like stock with a firmer engagement which feels quite nice and reassuring.
