Only one thread is necessary. The other has been removed. How much power/what mods does your car have?

Well that's a good clutch to what I've heard, but I don't see why the gmpp clutch shouldn't hold with 400

Without an actual dyno, and just going off of the mass air flow, my tuner(PWerks) says I'm right about 400whp(give or take a few). I have the GMPP clutch, and so far it holds, but the question is how long it will continue to hold. I do have a slower spooling journal bearing 6758, so that helps, but I decided I'm going to be a guinea pig and keep my clutch/flywheel thread updated as I go along.

Most would recommend Spec, Southbend, and KY. There are people who love what they got, and others that have hated it, but most also have only run one or two of the options. Just remember, without a built trans and/or good driving technique, an aggresive clutch will be your transmissions doom. Not trying to scare you, plenty of good info around here, read up on others experiences too before you decide.

I have the southbend 4+ with fidanza flywheel for my zfr. Holds great. The pedal just takes some getting used to at first.

It's not just the aggressiveness of the clutch, but your driving style as well. If you drive sane and smart, you can be fine, but if you bang through the gears constantly with a grippy clutch, you can run into issues real quick.

Big thing is if you really plan to daily it, get a full face clutch and avoid pucked clutches. Pucked clutches don't slip as easily, but that also means they grab harder and faster, putting all sorts of strain on everything.

Again, plenty of threads around here, poke around them all and decide from there based on others experiences on how they are.

I have a gmpp clutch with 370whp and while it's a good clutch I don't expect it to last as long as a $700 clutch. So keep that in mind.
