heres my debate lol
my ss sc has 104,000KMS on it with the orginal clutch and im wondering if i should change it cause i heard these clutches are crap or build a stage kit what do u guys think

 

Thats 64,xxx miles here in teh

Depends on how big of the kit you do. If you plan on a 300+ HP kit, you'll need a new clutch anyways

 

im only putting in 60 and a 2.9

 

The stock clutch is a pos and will slip with that set up. Get a spec stage 2+ or 3 clutch and a lighten flywheel.

 

i just dont have a hughh budget so im wondering how much linger my stock one will hold out for

 

I'm at the same amount of miles. And I'm still on the stock one. But stock engine also. It still feels brand new. I don't know when the stock one fails on a stock setup. Most people arn't stock on a SS/SC

 

i guese drive till it goes hahah but it aint cheap to fix

 

Run your stock clutch until it dies and dont fail at driving and it will last a bit. My clutch has never slipped and look at my setup

 

70k Miles today stock clutch, lightly modded never has slipped or grinded, Seems like day one still.

 

Agreed!

The stock clutch isnt all that bad. Most people experience slip due to poor driving.

 

yeah the stock clutch isnt that bad mine didnt start to slip until about 350 whp
you dont need a new clutch if you are still on a m62 unless you cant drive and you slip it way to much

 

do not get a lightened flywheel i hate mine..only upside is a faster rev

 

I have a stock clutch and mine doesn't slip either.

 

The people who are having the problems are the ones who take off from every stop light slipping it from like 2k+ rpms and not rev matching when they downshift lol

 

95,000 on my stock clutch. My car had a 2.8 and 60s on it for about 20,000 too. I'm now running 42s and a 3.0" and my clutch still holds damn good. Just depends on how you drive really, rev matching and easy not riding the clutch will take you a long way. I plan on replacing mine with the GMPP clutch when it goes. Supposed to hold up to 300hp and people say it's a great clutch for a Modded LSJ.

 

Thats my plan as well^

 

I'm going to have about the same setup as you infraredline.

You really think the gmpp clutch will hold?

 

If the stock one is holding up this well I think the GMPP one will hold pretty well. There are some big turbo guys running it with no problems as well. Maxim X goes to the strip with his often with 400+whp and his is holding

You gonne be on E85 as well?

 

no minus e85 and 80#

im gonna be running the tvs with a 2.9 i have a vibrant header to a 3" catless DP to a 3" "cat"back to the vibrant muffler. and i have zzp stg3 h/e, dual pass, opt b, 60#inj, 1stepcolder sparks, annddddddddddddd,,, thats it.

 

Oh yeah that clutch will be perfect for you then since you will be down about 30whp or so from my current setup. Im going to milk my stock one as long as I can lol, we will see how it likes a ported head and 2.8 pulley

 

lmao..

DAMN!

lol, u gotta make some vids on that setup haha

 

i know people with a tvs and still on the stock clutch its not a pos

 

Haha oh believe me I will
