Default clutch selection

Didn't know what clutch to buy when I put the car back together I was looking into the ram clutch and the spec clutchs any advise would help mild street build with a few possible track passes.

Best Consensus I've seen so far is Spec Clutches for the LT1s....

Just pick the combo that meets your HP/Usage goals.

I can tell you I've got 20K+ miles on my Stage II+ and it holds like a champ with stock like drivability. Since you probably have a few more HP, you may want to go to the Stage III or III+ (Plus is essentially the non-puck or easier engagement material but holds the same power level)

I like my spec 3. I also run an aluminum flywheel wich I DO NOT recomend. Much harsher engagement and it hits the tires a lot harder. So I say a spec billet flywheel and spec 2 plus. Strongly recomend the billet wheel. Much better surface are for clutch engagement. And the 2 plus will drive like stock won't. Be on and off like a pucked style and holds more power then you will make.

i have had 2 spec IIIs, a spec III+, and a monster level 3. Monster has held up the best for me, spec felt a little more towards stock but all 3 spec clutches only lasted like 15-20k and the monster has held more so far....
