Spec 3+ with aluminum pp? Anybody have some experience with a Spec 3+ with the Aluminum pressure plate? Wondering if it is really worth the extra 200bucks? I cannot find any info on how much lighter it is from the regular spec 3+ clutch& pressure plate, anyone know? Thanks!!!

I've done several with the billet steel and the clutch works GREAT! I'm doing one with a alum flywheel next week so I'll hit you with a pm afterwards. I have the clutch at the shop now and it weighed a 39 lbs 14 oz on my scales so it is a light weight and should be a really nice seutp.

-Keep in mind that a stock LS1 clutch and flywheel are about 49lbs(stock flywheel is 24.5lbs).
-LS7 clutch and flywheel are a lot heavier at 57ish lbs.

Oh wow, thanks!!! Would you recommend getting the aluminum housing on the pressure plate for an extra 200 or do you think it is a waste of $$$?

I think it is a waste since it only saves 6 lbs on a already really light setup. I'd stick with the regular housing and the alum wheel. I think this is a killer setup! I'll let you know though, we should have it in the car soon. Waiting on the tranny to be worked over right now.
