Default LS7 Clutch and T56 Advice

I am goin to have to get a new clutch and flywheel soon. What all do I need that will make it work in our trannys. I heard LS2 flywheel(is it heavier that LS1) Does anyone have an LS2 flywheel part number. Are the LS7 clutches good compared to other brands. And will it hold about 500 crank hp. How do u guys like our LS7 Clutch Thanks.

You can get the entire kit from Scoggin Dickey or Byun Speed for a decent price----------->

the kit from them is a direct bolt in. You may want to also get a new slave and master cylinder as well as a new pilot bushing.


I had it in my CETA which was putting out 600+ RWHP on nitrous and I never had a single problem with it on the street or on the track

Damn, how long did it last? I'd love to run the clutch but I'm not sure if it'll hold for me.

Yep, as stated its a direct bolt in unit already balanced & ready to go. Just get a new slave & pilot. I wouldn't touch the master unless its giving you problems.

Yes it will still work and it is a good idea to replace the pilot but isn't a must do. I didn't replace mine but my car only had 40K miles on it
