New clutch, any suggestions?
I need a new clutch that will hold up the K04 on full boost at 400 lb-ft and that will be good enough for a ZFR 6857 next summer. Anyone have suggestions for a good clutch since I don't really know what brand is good or not?

Every clutch will have fans and haters. If you want a cheap good clutch go with the lsj upgraded one also known as the gmpp. It's the best for the money. No clutch will hold up to a non boost ramped efr unless you want to spend at least $600-$1000. A pucked clutch will probably hold the best but it's hard on the trans and not as much fun to drive in traffic.

I will boost ramp it for sure with the efr since I don't want to kill my tranny. I just want to make sure I will be able to nls at least with the K04 without having slipping problems or any type of clutch problem.

I will do a lot of lapping and drag this summer so I just hope it will be ok if I take the GMPP

NLS with a grippy clutch on stock turbo at that tq level is asking 3rd gear to take a walk.

That's why I don't NLS really often and I don't do it on 1-2

I think nls 2-3 is the worst. 3rd gear is the week point.

Please listen to what they are saying.

You should not be NLSing unless you are stock or GM Stage 1. With a ZFR, you should never, ever do it. Not just for fun at times, EVER. Doesn't matter what your boost ramp is, you will blow 3rd gear to pieces with NLS and ZFR.

Unless you like replacing trannys regularly.

I never said that I'll do it on a ZFR, I already know that, my main question is what clutch should I buy

i would go with the gmpp upgrade clutch. if the car is tuned properly with a nice boost ramp it will hold. i only ever nls 3-4 anymore lol. 2-3 is wayyyy too risky lol
