The ARP flywheel bolts will probably work with an aftermarket flywheel, but obviously not a OEM. Can’t say I am a big fan of their clutch design. Did a McLeod twin disc for a buddies ‘03 Cobra years back. That thing made sense and was serious clamping force. I have no doubt the Camaro clutch holds power, but what a monster. The flywheel weighs more than the crank! It was tempting to go aftermarket but those flywheel/clutche setups cost some coin and my stocker only has 17k/mi on it, so too much meat to just throw away. Hell the discs looked barely used, very beefy. So I’ll keep the few thou in my pocket and see if the build lives long enough to wear out that OE clutch so I have an excuse to change it. I ran my OE Mustang clutch on my ‘08 at 480whp for 50k/mi before it started having slipping symptoms. Replaced it with a RAM clutch and never looked back. And that was a bottom of the dung heap factory clutch setup Ford had going on for that poor car. But then again, they only made about 280whp factory.
