Unhappy Stupid Question........

When someone says they have an "LS7 Clutch" what does it mean? Does it mean they have a stock (from GM) LS7 Vette clutch or aftermarket replacement?

The stock LS7 clutch can be bought as a kit from SDPC (vendor--->) and it makes a good replacement for LS1 setups.

when people with fbodies say ls7 clutch, they mean ls7 cluth disc and PP/ls2 flywheel. and yes, the ls7 clutch comes out of a stock c6z06

Question

I know that the c6zo6 is 505 hp....so what's the power rating on the clutch? I'm planning a head/cam swap and just want to know if it will hold the increased hp.

For a street driven car the LS7 is a great clutch good for about 450rwhp.
The manners on this clutch are really nice. I love mine and I've tried a few other clutches.

If you are looking to drag race on a regular basis, you might want to consider something stronger, allthough some guys do drag race thier LS7 clutches.
