As the title states- I am looking for a little help choosing a clutch. Im not all that far from stock.. I have GM stg 2(smaller pulley), GMPP exhaust, CAI ( i have a few more mods but those are really the only engines one at the moment). I dont plan on going too much further with the car. Maybe a small shot and some cooling mods.

Im undecided between the new GM clutch, or the SPEC stage 2+. Im leaning towards the SPEC, but would just like to hear a few opinions from a few knowledgeable guys here.

Thanks for any help!





Edit: BTW I have searched thru many many many threads, but couldnt come up with a definite answers.

 

I wanna know too. My current one wont last forever.

 

well im running a TVS setup with 338hp with minimal stock clutch slippage. Recently switched to the spec stage 2+. Seems to be doing well for me. Really depends on if it is needed or not. You might not even need the + kit maybe only stage 2.

Actually went back and did some checking, I was right. You dont need the 2+ kit, the stage 1 is rated to sustain 335tq. If your not planning on going much further than what you have already then stage 1 will work for you. It really depends on if you wanna spend the money for stage 2 or higher.

 

Go with the gmpp clutch u won't be more then 260 with stage two unless u have a diddled tune with meth or somthing but the gmpp clutch will hold 300 hp easy

 

1Quick07SS: At first I was thinking just the SPEC stage 2, but then figured for such a small increase in price for the stage 2+ I might as well get that if im gonna go with SPEC.



Chevycobaltss3: Ive really been thinking about the GM one, but I dont know if I want to limit myself.. Just in case I get the urge to add some more power down the road.


Thanks a lot for the reply guys!

 

I have a spec 3 and and I love it I paid 800 shipped for it so go for spec if you want mote power down the road

 

agreed if you want more power go with the Spec clutch

 

Thanks a lot for your help guys! I ended up ordering the SPEC stage 2+. I live in Canada so I couldnt really take advantage of some of the great prices some of the american vendors have on the SPEC clutches, so I ordered it locally. It cost me $835 Canadian.

 

wow! $835... did you check out OTTP?

 

Yea, I checked out OTTP. The cheapest I was able to find from an american vendor was from thmotorsports. But after the exchange rate, shipping, and the 2 taxes I would have to pay it would have still cost a **** hair over $800 canadian. I figure why go thru all the hassle to save $30, and potentially even pay more then buying it locally. Brokerage fees can be a bitch here.

 

ahh i see. Do you have to wait for it to ship still or did you get it right there?

 

He sent in the order yesterday, and said it takes them 2 days to make the clutch. He said I should have it here within 7-10 days. We only have 2 local SPEC dealers so I didnt really have much to choose from.

One of the options I was playing with was ordering it from the states, and having the clutch sent to a very good friend that moved to Orlando. Then just get him to sent it to me as a 'used gift'. I didnt know if it would even work, so I just said **** it.

 

ahh gotcha, well good luck with what your lookin to achieve!

 

Thanks a lot. I appreciate that!



BTW I just noticed this- "Currently deployed to Afghanistan...."

I would also like to thank you for what you're doing!!! Be safe!!

 

Thanks, deffinantly bein as safe as I can!

 

I just got a SPEC Stage 2+ installed and it is really nice. It really is gripping great! Drives like stock though.
