RCZ will give you good recommendations about the clutch....Spoke to him before I pulled the trigger and he referred me to Joe...RCZ doesn't have the HD Slave Kit though...At least he didn't when I last spoke to him.

Joe is pretty good on custmomizing your orders to your needs/specs...I have the Spec 2 Clutch kit, but with a heavier pressure plate...Feels great and very smooth....Gotta break it in 700 miles no high reving, easy driving, and a put a good 1500 Miles before you can break loose on it...The Kevlar materail on the Stage II is awesome and top notch!!!!

What flywheel did you go with? Link to where you bought your clutch?

Spec? Do you mean South Bend stage 2

The Kevlar is great stuff!

Plus the RPM doesn't hold well with the lighter flywheel and one must shift faster to hit the rev points on gear changes.

This time around I wanted something more reliable and quieter and with a heavier flywheel to help with up-shifts/downshifting and the 4.08 gears. I went with the Stage 4 clutch offering and a CSC bearing cap. This spring I will be updating to the Z-Speed CSC kit and predict to have a trouble free service life.

Glad to see your a vendor now Joe. Welcome to the forum

Thanks Llyod!

Joe, I plan on supercharging the Z, you think I should go with the stage 3 or 4? My estimates are 450-500whp & hopefully about 400tq

I would go with the stage 4 at minimum for that WHP. We would need to put you in the SS Stage 4 kit and not the HR Stage 4 but they are the same price.

It will work with the OE clutch perfectly.
