Default Those with LS7 clutch/LS2 flywheel come in.

Ok, I & others on here have seen several posts of people who have switched to this set-up & are very happy with it. There are still some questions unanwsered though.

In what types of applications are they being installed. What I mean by this is, are they going in cars with minor bolt-ons, H/C combo vechicles, bolt-on w/nitrous, etc. I haven't been able to find much if anything about how they hold up in these different cases. I know they come on the new LS7 motors, but how much power/torque do these clutches max at before they start to fail or have slippage issues. Also if anyone has any track time, how did it perform & what are your mods.

I would like to know this information & I know I'm not alone on this one. I am planning on this clutch for price & drivability, but want it to last for a while.

I have some minor bolts on (check sig) and it holds up fantastic so far. Kinda grouchy when its warm out though.
I havent been to the track yet but Ive romped on it from 0-100 and it didnt slip one bit. Chirped 2nd and 3rd.

339rwtq running through mine. Love the way it feels, but haven't broken it in enough to beat on it yet.

Default in the same boat almost

won an LS2 clutch on ebay, do i need to modify any of parts to make it work on an LS1 engine with stock slave or will it go right in with no issues, i didnt get the LS7 pressure plate its an LS2 pressure plate, anyone put one of these in a camaro. finding out you need different parts once your camaro is on jackstands would make for a bad day when your swapping on your ride to work.
