If i get the INTENSE Stage 3 Kit which i plan on getting ASAP after the car...What would you guys recomend putting in clutch wise?? I know the stock clutch isnt gonna handle it for very long at all...

 

go with it until it burns up.... clutch swaps are intensive

 

spec stage 2 clutch should be right up your alley

 

or the 5 if you want one killer calf muscle

 

haha...stage 5 is a full race clutch. it's pretty much an on/off switch for the clutch. no middle ground, no slipping. lots of stalling.

 

Stage 2 SPEC clutch seems to be the general consensus going around, seems to be a tough break in but will last a long time after that. I personally don't have my clutch replaced, but I'm going with the Stage 2 kit under the GM warranty and I'll be putting the Stage 2 SPEC clutch in the car at the same time as the kit. I haven't heard much about the Stage 3 clutch, but I think your best bet will be the Stage 2 for the INTENSE.

 

i think i am going to go with the spec 3+ just for the crazyness down the road

 

I called and talked to SPEC and discussed with 2 different reps and got 2 different answers. (me) Building a 12sec to high 11sec Cobalt, what clutch do you need??

(them)
#1
Cool, you need the stage 3+

#2
Cool project, the stage 2+ would be perfect! You see, your engine doesn't make allot of torque so you don't need the higher capacity clutch.

So there you have it

 

so 2+ or 3+ depending on how much HP you plan on they would be fine.

 

you guys really think the stock clutch will fry with the Gm stage 2 kit and a few bolt ons???
cuz if so then i should start savin my money for a clutch aswell lol.

 

With stock tires and minimal slipping from a start, yes it will survive. Hard driving or DR's Hell no

 

So like we said... Save your pennies, cause nobody is gonna granny their stage 2 cobalt

i'd burn the stocker then go with a stage 2

 

ya burn the stock clutch but in the mean time be ready for a clutch when the stock one poops, thats what im probably gonna do.
