LS7 clutch didnt hold. Need recomendations
Just went FI, we were tuning on the Dyno and my fairly new LS7 clutch is breaking loose at 500lbs TQ @ 5300 rpm.
To prep for the maggie I put a Moser 12 bolt, rebuilt the
T56 & an entire LS7 clutch system ( ls2 flywheel master/slave) only 5,000 miles ago. Yes .. I hit it pretty hard since then but no more than any of us maniacs. This is my DD and it see's at least one 2nd & 3RD WOT a day.
I need recomendations for a new clucth. I'm thinking Monster 12" stage 3 because I dont want to get into the stage 2 and find an issue in a few months ( 5,000 miles). What do you recomend. Can I keep my master/ slave etc. Is it smooth for DD.
FYI: should only see about 550rwhp/ 525tq

The LS7 is a great clutch for a stock to medium cammed car & starts to slip once you hit the 400whp mark with aggressive driving & hard launches. You really need a dual friction style clutch setup( stage 2 or 3) minimum. I will be upgrading my clutch next year to a dual friction as I have felt (& smelled) some clutch slip. I have heard a stg3 isnt as street friendly, much harder pedal feel & take some getting used to.

You are on the right track going with the Level 3 with power level and it'll give you room to grow should you decide to turn up the boost. Lashway Motorsports or Tick Performance are both running $100 off specials currently. Feel free to call me with any questions you may have. Chris, 817-750-2000
