The LS7 clutch LS2 flywheel set up is heavier...7-10lbs I believe...but it grabs like crazy and feels like stock. The lighter flywheel will free up some power. Do some searches on light flywheels...they have some disadvantages. From my understanding there has been a lot of issues with SPEC clutches...that is why I stayed away. As for any performance parts from autozone.....ummmm....do you really want to be pulling your tranny out again?

my friend has the LS7 clutch setup, feels great, like stock, but the thing is- its still a stock clutch.
Im spraying a 100wet shot on top of the 342rwhp 362rwtq that im putting down, and my ram powergrip HD is holding up great. this is my second clutch, only because my slave cylinder took a crap on me and sprayed the 1st ram clutch/flywheel down with fluid and ruined it. 5k launches at the track aren't a problem. ive had no signs of glazing or it wearing out. i am a very happy customer
<- (it almost sounds like im in an advertisement or something lol)
