100Q vs V8 clutch holding torque

[Denis]

The LT1 use a standard disk !!!! mmmmm i asked machine shop about it and the
recommended use a stronger disk for a 400Nm,,, application. The stock unit
ll suffer from the 400Nm torque.
The disk cost double the standard unit. Does he use standard pads too ?

thanks
