Help me choose a clutch - Lateral-g Forums

I plan on getting a hydraulic clutch soon. I have a TKO 600 and will be hooking it up to a L92 that will be around 550hp. I will be using the car on the street with hopefully a rare trip to the track to see how it does. What would be a good street clutch for my set up? I'm not particular to any brands so open to any opinions. If you happen to know the part number too, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

I had a TKO 600 matted to a 509 BB and used the Ram Street Dual disc clutch and loved it. So now I'm partial to Ram. I am now going with an LS 6.0 matted to a T56 Magnum & will go with a Ram dual disc clutch as well. Their dual clutches are rated at 900 ft/lbs tq. Not that I'll ever have or need that much power but it's sure nice to know if I ever want to make changes & increase hp or tq I don't have to worry about changing clutches.

Classic Chevy 5 Speed or Kiesler can set you up with everything you need.
Or call Frank at Prodigy, he can also take care of you. I'll be doing the same thing soon with a BBC and a TKO 600. I am going to use the Ram unit described above. I have heard really good things about it from several people but I have never used it myself yet.

I'm running a centerforce dual friction and it's been good so far with great pedal feel.

I too am running a Centerforce with the dual friction disc, nice combo.

Thanks guys. Do any of you guys happen to know the part number of the clutch you are running? I was talking to one supplier and told him I wanted an LS7 clutch and here's the part number he gave me: DF395010. This one might be overkill though. It says it's for cars on nitrous and I won't need that. The only problem with this one though is all the flywheels are really expensive. He was saying they were $400 for the cheapest one..does that seem right? Here's a link to the clutch he told me about: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CTF-DF395010/

Spec 3+ for that kind of power in my opinion.
