LS6 Clutch + 5.3L Truck + 18 Months + ... LS6 Clutch + 5.3L Truck + 18 Months + hot lapping at track 26 times and 50 miles of heavy street use every week, when there is nice weather = !!! 
So what do you think of the hot spots and the pressure plate fingers? I am replacing the LS6 clutch combo with the LS2/LS7 clutch combo! We will see how it goes! I also need a bigger garage!

Here is a pic! I have a lot of clutch left! My clutch forward adjusted itself too far!

This is an easy mistake to make. Why not just put another LS6 clutch in it, but let it cool between runs?

Yep it is my fault, I know that.
I got the LS7 clutch for just a little more $$ than a LS6 clutch would have cost me. I was also not sure yet what the LS6 clutch was going to look like when I took it out. I don't think I will run that many time again when I go back to the track. I was trying fot 13's really bad and it was the first time the truck had really been out since the swap! Peer Pressure!

I think that's a GREAT idea. Have fun with your unique (clutch-eating) truck. Looks like it would be a fun ride.
