o2camaross · 11-10-2008, 08:28 PM

so i was wondering how the clutch will fair with some added power and some harsh clutch drops. Is it the same clutch that the LS3 vettes come with?

should be fine, if not get a good tilton triple disc for it.

In regards to the OPs question .. do we know the specs of the clutch?

Thanks,
Crowley

G-force... FTW. Punter, how does the tilton compare to the Gforce dual friction?

Probably not well, to be honest. The Camaro is a lot heavier than a vette, and in the past, GM hasn't accounted for that in installing a clutch. The clutch in a Camaro should be stronger than that of a C6, just because it's heavier. They'll probably have installed the same clutch though, so I don't expect it to fare well on hardcore holeshot clutch slips.

tiltons are very very expensive racing clutches with very short throws...think along the lines of $8k for the clutch assembly

SPEC here too

I've read many good things about them. I know Centerforce had problems, from what I've read, with LT1s and know a couple people who had problems with the weight on LS1s. I'm sure it'll last a little while

McLeod makes a good clutch. My buddy works at a shop and that's whay they upgrade the LT5 ZR-1's to. That's what I'll probably use.
