00 WS.6, 450rwhp, What clutch?
So i just picked up some goodies from Tony at AFR, and will be installing them in my wife's car in the near future. Unfortunately, she is still on the stock LS1 clutch. Its currently cammed with full bolt ons (392rwhp), and i know this clutch wont hold up to the new found power (mods listed below)
Mods will be: SLP Lid, SLP Ram Air, P&P TB, LS6 Intake, Trick Flow 44# Injectors, AFR 205s (63cc), ARP Headstuds, Cometics, AFR 224/228, MSD Wires, TR6s, SLP L/Ts, Hi-Flows, Magnaflow Catback, Under Drive Pulley, Racetronix Hotwire Kit/Fuel Pump, Lou’s Short Stick, Pro 5.0, RPM Level V T56(Viper spec and then some), Dyno Tune by Synergy!
Ive been looking at both the LS7 Clutch, and the Spec 2+ and heres why:
Cost is very similiar
No track time (315s and stock 10 bolt dont jive)
No launches even on the street (see above)
She daily drives the car, so she doesnt want a crazy stiff pedal
If i got LS7, is the Aluminum Flywheel worth it? I like the idea of the lighter weight, to help get more power to the ground.
ALL help and suggestions are appreciated.

Monster Level 2 will work great for you! It's rated to 525 rwhp/tq, can endure spirited driving, and is butter smooth for daily use.
Give me a call and I can go over any questions you may have.

as far as the lighter flywheel, monster has an option for an 18lb'er, which i went with, i think its $50 more which is a pretty good deal. At 18lbs, its not a DRASTIC drop over stock, (compared to the 12lb'ers out there) and ive always heard that aftermarket pressure plates are a good bit heavier than stock, so it should equal out. though im not sure how true that is.
