  • $250 is on the cheaper end for a "high performance" clutch.

      Yes the price is cheap but I've heard nothing but good reviews on them so I hope it's not crap..

      • I was thinking about a Competition Clutch but they are only rated to like 450ft lbs for a LT1.
        So I ended up getting a Spec 3 which is 76xft lbs. So I won't have to worry about changing it, when the engine build comes.

          See my engine will never reach that so I should be set.

          • There are a lot of positive reviews on Competition Clutches. I used to run one and never had an issue. I thought it was great. You can't beat them for the money.

                    Honestly? Probably 10 miles. I wasn't too concerned with the break in.

                      • I only had it in my car for about a year before I made some changes, but it looked fine when I removed it and I beat on it frequently.

                            Minor update that probably didn't need pictures. But I've got them anyway. The console I got had a minor crack. If I didn't have so much time on my hands I probably would've left it alone, but I got it JB welded from the back side. We're good to go.

                            T56 swap update. The auto trans is out. Flywheel and pressure plate/disc assy. Are on the car. Ill try and get some pictures of that tomorrow. Spring looks like it's right around the corner, so hopefully by the time it's done I can start DDing the car again.

                              • Hey come over tear my trans out. Got a clutch to put in, engine plate, bell housing.

                                Looking good though.
