I' trying to decided what cluct to pt in my 94' LS
some people said they like the feel of the Oem but
others said i need to upgrade. my car has 209k on it
and friday night drags at Atlanta motor speed way is coming up
and so is test and tune in reynolds
so should i keep the Oem, go to Stage 1, or Stage Two.
would like peoples opinion

 

Well what mods do you have or plan on adding in the near future? I'm running a stage one and it works good for me. I'm only running bolt-ons with some higher compression pistons.

 

if you like to go racing and have less than 220-240whp the exedy stage 1 is perfect. the oem replacement they make will hold fine in most all motor apps but won't live as long as a 1 if you're dropping the clutch, doing burnouts and driving hard. the plate, disc and tb are considerably stronger in the stage 1 and less likely to fly apart.

 

Mods on your LS...?

 

as of now i have
headers
complete exhaust
and intake
but ovver the summer im
boosting

 

If you're planning on boost I would be looking at stage 2 or 3 depending on how much boost you plan on running.

 

this is true, a boosted car is going to need more clutch. the exedy 2 seems to live around 300hp and is much easier to drive than those on/off switch iron/copper metal clutches popularly marketed as stage 3 or 4. twin disc really is the way to go for a high hp street car, it's the best of both worlds.

 

Stage one is a little more fun imo, my friend has one is his teg which has the same mods as mine and his is a lil more fun to drive. I guess it will last longer too according to others. I dunno about a stage 2, seems a bit much from what I have heard tho.

 

does any one know if f1 clutches are good?

 

when i first boosted my car i had a stage one on 250 whp, and it lasted a summer, now i got a stage two and it still feels like its new after last summer and just getting my car out this spring
