Trying to piece together all the necessity's to do this swap and contemplating the clutch set up. I want something that will hold up to about 400hp, plus a stock or little stiffer than stock feel. I am on a budget too, plus i will also need the flywheel, throwout bearings, slave cylinder, etc.
So far i have the clutch pedal and transmission.
I was thinking a Zoom HP700, Ram PowerGrip, or Mcleod Street Pro. Any pros, cons, or suggestions are welcome!!
Also i've read on Z28 type forums that all the aftermarket clutch pressure plates are all made by Valeo and that they are the LT4 type. The idea behind getting one of these is buying a lifetime clutch setup from Autozone/Oreilly's, etc. and just simply buying a replacement clutch disc from the bigger names. Thoughts on this?!
Also i was looking to either get a stock flywheel or a billet steel. Any pros in spending the extra cash for the billet and any suggestion on brand?
I want to do this swap this fall/winter.
I've heard about the valeo PP stuff, I'm sure you could go that route without a problem as long as you get a good disc. I haven't tried most of those clutch setups you mentioned, but I have tried the disc from the mcleod, I was not impressed with it. it was very chattery and produced a good amount of dust compared to the spec discs I've ran. it might be better if you use it with their PP setup, but personally, I didn't like the disc much at all.
I don't know how much gain you'd get from a stock vs a steel flywheel. I run a billit steel one and I like it, but the main reason I got it was convinience since T56's out here are few and far between, so I couldn't find a stock flywheel to save my life.
