Hi Guys,
I am reaching out for suggestions. Over the winter, I put a 383 from TPIS into our 90 6-speed. Clay from TPIS told me that any LT4 or LT5 Clutch should work fine with this engine. So, I bought a clutch from Ecklers for a ZR1. I think what they sold me was a clutch for a 1990 ZR1 ( my fault ) and long story short. The engine makes 458 lb/ft of torque at 4500rpm and the ZR1 clutch can not hold up if I am driving aggressively. And I always seem to be driving aggressively...lol..
So, I need another new clutch. I want it to hold all of the power the engine produces. I want it to be easy to drive so the wife does not complain. I want it to be quiet.
I only have 61K miles on the car, so will I still be able to use the stock dual mass flywheel.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Clay still tells me that any LT4 or LT5 clutch should live fine behind the 383, but I just want to make sure I get the right one. I do not want to do this again anytime soon.
Can anyone help please?
