LS7 Clutch questions... How much better is the LS7 Clutch vs. LS6 clutch? Ive had a LS6 clutch before. Its was good on the street, ok rolling WOT runs on the street, but it sucks at the track with about 400rwhp. How much hp is the LS7 clutch rated at? Are you able to make a few passes at the track from time to time? Also, where is the best place to buy complete kit? Any info will be appreciated. thanks!!

A Ls7 clutch will support 450rwhp with no problems.

I orginally wanted to get a monster but after reading many posts about chatter/ squealing i decided to keep shopping. I hate, i repeat, i hate chatter or weird noises since my car will be a street car 90% of the time. My old ls6 clutch was silent...only problem...it doesnt hold much power. My current ram clutch is...ok but chatters from time to time. Im hoping to find something to hold 500rwhp with no chatter if possible.

Already close to 500rwhp on spray. My car dynos SAE corrected 394rwhp 385rwtq N/A 486rwhp 541rwtq on spray on new tune. I just want something to hold more than that to be safe. Better to hold more than less. Im guessing I should have a clutch capable of 600hp like diamond stg 2. I just want a clutch that has ZERO, or very minamal chatter/ squeals.

If you are really concerned about the driveability of the unit I would recommend the Monster Level 2. It's good up to 550 at the wheels and once broken in there is zero chatter. Today is the last day of the sale, so give me a call!

I have the LS7 set-up on my car. It originally dyno'd a 508 rwhp in 2007 and 524rwhp last summer. So it survives just fine. I DD the car in the warm weather. Been to the track a few times. Never had an issue. No chatter, easy engagement. You can get them at some of the sponsors on here (or at least previous sponsors).
