2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS Clutch & Ring-And-Pinion Install - Gearing Up - Tech

If you have been following along with our 2010 Camaro SS buildup, you may recall our last track outing ("Breathin' Easy," September '10) ended prematurely thanks to both a sticky clutch pedalIf you have been following along with our 2010 Camaro SS buildup, you may recall our last track outing ("Breathin' Easy," September '10) ended prematurely thanks to both a sticky clutch pedal and a completely destroyed stock posi unit. While we did manage to run a 12.71 at 111.67 mph thanks to a couple of easy bolt-on parts, our driveline troubles left us in a bit of a predicament. First and foremost, we knew the clutch had to come out of the Camaro and we had to replace it with a more robust unit. Luckily, that was easy to solve with a quick call to SPEC, a company whose clutch components we have come to know and trust over the years. After talking to SPEC about our goals, they recommended we run a SPEC Stage 2+ (PN SC633H, $501), a clutch capable of holding 715 lb-ft of torque, which was more than enough for us. While capable of holding a lot of power, the SPEC 2+ is designed to remain docile on the street, so driveability wouldn't suffer and we wouldn't have to deal with chatter. To accompany our clutch, SPEC also sent us a new lightweight flywheel (PN SC57A, $399), which would help free up some ponies and allow our engine to rev a little faster.
