Performance Clutch Kits?!?!?

Got a 92 rs camaro with older model 350.. 2 piece rear seal, running 550 hp or a lil less, NA ( naturally aspirated ) and needing advice on good clutch to run with the T5 for now... T56 coming later..
Jus wondering if yall know any good suppliers besides ebay and summit or jegs? I know mCloued and zoom and centerforce but jus wonderin if any other brands yall would recommend and if you have info on what type of clutch to get to hold the 550hp down..Thanks Guys!

Re: Performance Clutch Kits?!?!?

with 550hp and a t5, i would be more concerned with having a good health plan that will pay for digging shrapnal out of your backside when that t5 explodes? good luck

Re: Performance Clutch Kits?!?!?

I've got a spec stage 3 with a 350hp LT-1... I love it. I would have gone for the stage 3+ or 4 but I was told 3's had some street issues and I'm running 3.08's in the rear so a little chatter was common no matter what clutch I had. It is great for my liking... no issues at all. I should have gone with the 4!

Re: Performance Clutch Kits?!?!?

dont quote me on this but spec is 400 hp for stage 1 stage 2 im not sure stage 3 is around 600 hp stage 3+ is like 680 hp and still has springs in it to make it a little user friendly stage 4 is like 700 hp but no springs so its a harsh clutch and you can get it in any combo for the friction surfaces. and stage 5 is for 1000hp but its a slipper clutch.
