spec or clutch masters ?

payupsucka · Nov 1, 2005

well iam planning to put a fresh 306 in the lx and figured i might as well change the clutch while iam there i have a frpp clutch now but i figured i would get a good piece this time around for a n/a 315 to 320 rwhp car would would you guys recommend a spec clutch or a clutch masters i know both are good clutchs just looking for opinions. And are aluminum flywheels really worth the money ?

i would go with spec the clutch master are too spensive and i think spec is better

spec stage 1 or 2 with alum flywheel.

Alum flywheels are a waste if you're going to drag race, I would only get a alum flywheel for road racing.

I wouldn't recomend the spec!

haha alum flywheels arent a waste. Your car revs noticably faster but the downside is to compensate for the loss of weight you need to rev a little higher to build more momentum when launching. There was a thread on this a while back but someone did some math and found out that its easily less than 500 more to equate to the same momentum that a stock flywheel makes. read up, it isnt a drag only car and maybe he will chime in on his intentions with his car. im pretty sure most of the races he will encounter while driving will be from a roll anyway. lol im not promoting street racing!

btw fidanza is a well known and respected company, they make alum flywheels for porsche, enough said.

good luck

alum fly wheels are not a wast but they ARE to a point invloving inertia

Centerforce DF is where I would go. Had a regular Centerforce behind a 347 stroker and it lasted 40,000 miles. Have a DF behind the R314ci and the pedal is soft, shifts great.

Sorry correction, its a waste if hes going to be daily driving it, hes better off getting the billet steel fidanza. Right? Would you want a alum flywheel for a daily driver? I'm just wondering.

You'd be surprised. They're not as big a difference as you think, even for a daily driver. The lighter the reciprocating mass the better in my opinion, road racing or drag racing. At the track, my car hits the tires just as hard with my spec alum. flywheel as my old billet flywheel did. Couldn't tell a difference. On the street I couldn't tell a difference either.
