Re: need help picking a clutch
LOL I like that line, got a lil laugh out of it. But on a serious note, I'm going to have to go with my man maniac and say definitely get a Comp Clutch. Pick as low a stage as possible (for better street-ability and easier pedal feel) that will handle your upper-most power goals +20-25% torque capacity to give you a little breathing room for your set-up to grow. I would just like to state that I am in no way a vendor for Comp or even remotely associated with them. The reasons for my recommendation is that they have done well for me in the past and as far as weighing out all of the many third party reviews I have seen/heard (Good versus Bad) for all the major companies who sell import performance clutches (ACT, Clutch Masters, Tilton, Exedy, OEM, SPEC, etc.), I have seen that they work as good or better and last longer when compared to everything else in our market.

My old LS-T setup nearly mirrors the OP's setup, with the difference of a 3" DP. The Comp. stage 4 sprung 6 puck is a very streetable clutch, with near-stock-like pedal feel, and plenty of bite. I loved it. Went to a stage 5 sprung 4 puck, and it was liveable; more chatter during takeoff, but not too bad. And at the track, it grabbed like a sumbitch.

Re: need help picking a clutch
I have a Competition Stage 3 6 puck clutch and pressure plate. My friends don't even know that I have an aftermarket clutch till I start shifting hard. Go Competition!

Comp stage 5, drives just like a stage 4 but holds better, anythign puck is going to chatter at first but it wears in and you get used to driving it. dont under rate the clutch, sucks to put in another one

Re: need help picking a clutch
I always ran ACT clutches and never ran into a problem. Current setup right now is LS-turbo, Stage 3 ACT clutch. 320whp 264wtq. t3/t4 @ 16psi on 93pump gas. Good luck on getting 350whp on pump gas with that turbo.

Re: need help picking a clutch
Why wouldnt he be able to get 350 on pump gas with the turbo?Really he didnt list any specifics on it so thats a very broad statement. t3/t4 .63 can be a HUGE array of turbos froma 46 trim to a t3/t67
On a stock engine on the other hand i wouldnt push it that far without being a properly sized turbo even then the tinglands done like alot of power on stock ls pistons

I have a competition clutch stage 3 segmented kevlar. It holds 550whp/350tq no problem and engages like stock but with a little more bite. WAY better than a pucked clutch. Unless you plan on drag racing on slicks a lot I would stay away from pucked clutches for the sake of driveability.

Re: need help picking a clutch
clutchmasters stg 3 kevlar disc with upgraded HD plate is all you need. if you like replacing the ceramic puck style clutches often then go ahead with everyone else's reccomendations.
the stg 3 will hold all that power and then some. its way underated
