Competition Clutch

[Fox Slaughter]

Is anyone running a Competition Clutch?
The 2250?
Or what about a 2600?

I ran the 2250. I was happy with it.

I had the 2250 I believe, was an awesome clutch!!

Or should I just get a Spec 3+ and call it a day?

im also looking at these clutches. i have yet to hear one complaint about them. looking at the stage 3 or4 only because i want quick engagement.

where is a trusted site to buy from. all the sites that have them seem so sketchy..

If you want to wait until spring ill take you for a ride in my car.. You can try it in a parking lot somewhere.

thanks, but i really want to have this swap done before spring, what do you have in yours?

im just looking for a clutch that has a pretty quick engagement but its still streetable and will work well with a LW aluminum FW

I will be going with one of these as well when the time comes to swap my clutch. Reputation is pretty strong, seems like about the best clutch for the money out there.

I have a Spec stage 3. It engages quick and bites hard. Down side is, it doesnt like to be slipped and itll chatter if you try. Ive heard a lot of very good things about competition though, the spec was about the only option i had at the time (2004 or so).

I also advise against the LW aluminum flywheel. They drive like crap IMO.

I've driven a Z28 with an aluminum flywheel, felt like I had to rev the piss out of it to get it to move without stalling. I wasn't a fan.

Yep, exactly. [MENTION=1151]nascarnate326[/MENTION] will vouch for the same experience

well damn.. so whats a spec LW go for? needs to be resurfaced, and would a regular autozone factory flywheel be the best option?

im beggining to think i got screwed. ive replaced nearly 50% of everything i originally bought..

[JoeliusZ28]

Sorry dude. Not sure what those go for, but I'd probably be prepared to write it off

well, they go for 460 new. so honestly as long as i get enough to replace it with a stock one ill be happy. but i dont think 200 is a too much of a far cry.. anything to help get some money for 4.10s
and dont worry i didnt pay 460 for it. i got a bundle of T56 swap parts (most of which ive had to replace) that it came in.

Somebody will buy it. Put it on CL for $300 o.b.o. and I'm sure you'll get some emails about it.

You didn't get screwed, you just got a bunch of parts that you don't really need, but can sell for as much (if not more) as the replacement parts you want.

Lightweight flywheels make the car a completely different animal. Less rotating mass=quicker throttle response, but at the cost of having to take off at higher RPMs. They have their place, but IMO, a street car isn't where it will be best utilized. A dedicated autocross vehicle would be a good application for a LW FW, but you do make sacrifices even there.

If you want reduced rotating mass, an aluminum flywheel and lighter wheels will be a good place to start, without sacrificing street manners. Get a decent clutch, stock FW, and call it good.

If it helps your decision at all, the Competition Clutch has a very strong reputation, drives like a stock clutch (easier to "slip" than a Spec Stage 3, for example), and is cheap to boot. A stock flywheel can be had for around $80 new on Rock Auto, and a lot of the auto parts stores offer price matching, so you should be able to get the same deal by taking in a printout from Rock Auto's website when you buy.
