Need clutch recommendations - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SS Performance · 10-30-2019, 07:36 PM

I'm building a dedicated track car, https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=555440.

The car currently has a A6 but I plan to switch to a M6. I am most likely going to use the TR6060 out of a ZL1.

My motor is a LS2 bored and stroked using a LSX454 rotating assembly, LS7 heads, Holley Hi-Ram intake and Brian Tooley cam. I expect to be making 700+ hp and will be keeping the RPM's under 7000.

I am not sure what clutch would be best. I can go with a stock clutch for the ZL1 or aftermarket like the McLeod RST, or something else.

I was wondering what others are using and what their experiences are.

Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig,

I would highly recommend a Centerforce DYAD for your track car project.

The DYAD XDS is a great choice. It is a dual disc capable of supporting 1600 ft/lbs. of torque. The XDS is a little more aggressive with less dampening than the DS version.

You can find them listed on our website here:

I’m over a 1,000 to the rw and I just destroyed a Spec triple disc rated for 1500hp, so I would not use Spec. RPS seems to be the way to go according to my builder. Very light weight and will hold up to 2,000 hp. I used a Monster twin disc when I was at 800hp and it did great, so that is another clutch to look at for you.

I usually overkill and over-research things. I'd go either RPS twin/triple or Monster twin/triple myself. I've heard decent feedback on the McLeod RXT 1200 but I've also heard some Specs being, well, particular. Haven't paid attention to the other brands.

ive had 2 monsters in my 4th gen with the tic master and speed bleed. all treated me well. not the level of hp you guys are creating but very reliable in my applications and I dumped the clutch a lot.
