SPEC Stage 2+ here with LW flywheel. Chatters & moans a bit when cold but never slips.

ZZP Stage 4 is a good choice also.

SPEC stage 2+ or 3+ are good choices. Gotta get the "+" series, or you will not be happy...

Gotta get a flywheel with those or will mine be ok to be turned and shimmed if there isnt too much heat damage? What kind of prices are we looking at? As is I can't even drive my car. The clutch is totally gone.

Good prices on www.TurboTechRacing.com

Most use the stock flywheel, just get it resurfaced.

I guess all Spec clutches are very good

Use your stock flywheel too no need to upgrade to a LW one

So, any of you guys know where I can find a flywheel JUST in case I cracked it? Dealership lists it for 860$ and none of the local parts stores, napa, carquest, autozone, oreilly even lists them. I've found the lightweight aluminum ones online for around 400$

I have my stocker I'll sell for $300 + shipping if you want it, It's a heavy beast to ship though. Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Looks like a Stage 2+, is it? The LNF needs a 2+ for the torque.

No that is not the correct part number for the 2+ it is the normal/plain 2...

SPEC states... Real life is much less IMO. That is why members should only get a "+" series, less clutch chatter and much more holding power.

Well... Sigh... GM put a brand new trans in it a month ago. Put about 3-400 miles on it and it started smoking on downshifts slightly.... Then it stoped smoking. Took it to the track and blew it up. The guys at the track asked me if I was burning my tires out at the end of the track. YAY me

Popped the hood at the track and wires were unhooked, harness flopping around, they didnt bolt the fuse box back in and they broke some of the clips in it.

He needs at least a SPEC Stage 2+, the Stage 2 will slip. 2+ is rated 437 ft/lbs tq. Stage 2 is less.

OP - I have my used stock setup if you want it, pm me an offer. 20k highway miles but slipped on WOT since tuned for me.
