There is NO reason you should be worried about the clutch in the SS/TC's.. I had an 07 SS/SC that I bought with GM Stg2 then further modded her with a 2.79 pulley, Vibrant 3" Cat-back, Injen CAI, NGK's, Eibach Springs, Dyno Tune, and a couple other things, and I put OVER 30K miles in right about a years time with the factory clutch...AND, the SS/TC's clutches are a MUCH better design.

a few people that have tuned the SS/TC have noticed clutch slip, including myself

duke3323 - pay attention to the K04 thread, by the end of this week BTF should have some numbers with this upgraded wheel on my car

the clutch issues seem to be happening around the 3K RPM range...notice their dyno sheet, they don't start hitting high hp/tq numbers until past 4K

I talked to a GM rep at SEMA.

Release date 1st quarter of 2009.

Reason is that they want to release 07,08, & 09 all at one time.
All that they're waiting for is the CARB paperwork for the 2009.
Everything is done, & ready to go.

Only a Stage 1 kit for the TC cars. No Stage 2 or 3 ,will ever happen.

They will 'lock' the program the best that they can do, as they don't want
anyone changing anything in the program.

The rep that I talked to didn't know if the 'program' raises the 255kpa limit.

I see NO cobalts whatsoever here at SEMA, Only ECOTEC support I see is a Malibu...whoopity doo!

I may as well ask the slutty models walking around what's coming out from GM if that's how helpful the reps are.
