Replacing all Hydraulics and clutch $? Everyone, i have read all the stickies, and was going to take the extra money i made and just do a cam, however, i am going to do it the right way and replace all my hydraulics and clutch, as with around 340 horse right now i have a sticking pedal, very spongy feeling clutch, and high rpm wont engage, problem, what i was wondering is, i want to replace everthing, i was thinking about going with the Ram Powergrip HD Clutch, not sure what kind of flywheel, replace master cylinder and replace slave, what am i looking to spend? Would it be cheaper to go with an ls7 clutch and still upgrade all the hydraulics, any help would be appreciated

I went with the LS7 setup and have yet to install it. I got everything new except a new master, and I hope that isn't a huge mistake. I did the LS7 because it comes with the flywheel and is a great price. The ram HD is rated to hold more power, but I have read some bad things about it on here.

ok i had the worst setup on earth, original master no drill mod leaking slave and original clutch 84 htousand miles and 10 track passes. i overhauled the whole car.
new gm master cylinder for a 01 my car is a 00, was like 120. did the drill mod. new pilot bearing alot of people ignore it but i took it out and the rollers were pretty bad , new slave original gm. and hte ls7 clutch package from scogggin dickey.418 shipped honestly it feels like a different car. i paid about 600? for everything figure your hydraulics are probably gonna outlast the car and the corvette clutch is good for atleast another 80k miles its mass prduced and obviously passed gms certifications to put in every corvette. plus its good for around 500 horse i believe . you should get your priorities straight and do whats more important first. theres no point of having a powerful lumpy *** cam if you cant get the power to the driveshaft. youll be faster with just the new hydraulics and get in clean continous runs than struggle to shift or launching. and the best part, it took me 4 n a half hours in my shop. very simple job.

lookin at Scroggin Dickeys website ,i cant get the ls7 clutch with flyweel for about $400, Master Cylinder for $146, the Slave for $132, now do i get the ls7 pilot bearing or the ls1 pilot bearings? What do you think a shop would charge to install these? I am definately getting this done before my cam

ls1 pilot bearing and make sure u buy a pilot bearing puller first before you try to do the clutch so your not stuck and those things really get jammed in there, the clutch pack form scoggin dickey is 400 and 18 shipping
