Depends on what you like. Do a search as there are tons of options out there. Some people have had good luck with certain brands while others have had problems. It's a toss up.
I have the LS7 on my car now and DD it and it has been working well for me. Even does fine with the turbo's.

Textralia™ OZ700™ Series Clutch with ~18 Pound Steel Billet "RoseLock" Flywheel & X-Grip Disc
Feels like stock, drives like stock, has handled 6000 rpm clutch dumps on ET streets and 26 passes down the track in the first 500 - 600 miles.
The only downside is price but when you have went through the clutches like me, at some point you stop paying attention to that.

To use the Ls7 Clutch If I do get a LS7 clutch does that mean I would have to get a new flywheel as well? and how are Ram clutchs? saw I nice 1 that could handle some more power and torque only for about 600

Whats up Bayareamaroboy? Did you make it out to L.A. a few weeks ago?? I might have met you I was at the Beverly Center with everybody, anyways I got the LS7 clutch but I havent got it installed yet.... If you get the kit from SDPC it comes with the LS2 flywheel but that ish is heavy as hell as opposed to the stock one....Some people say that they could feel a difference in the weight of the car once they put the heavier LS2 flywheel on and some say it actually helped them, so I am just going to put it on and see what happens.....

The clutch is like a big fuse behind the engine that protects the rest of the drive line Its best not to exceed the factory fuse rating by too much or everything behind the fuse or clutch will be destroyed. stage 2 or ls7 is the most that should ever be put in front of a stock drivetrain.
