That's pretty impressive. Too bad you got next to a !muffler mustang, would've been nice to hear it a little better.

I think thats a pretty damn good 60 ft on a "stock LS7" clutch as well. Looks like I made a good choice on the LS7 clutch

I could have sworn I posted in here.

I did nearly 50 clutch dumps at 5500 - 6000rpms with tthe Aluminum FW and LS7 clutch.. on M/T Et streets and on Hoosier 10" wide slicks. this was back when I had 364rwhp... now I have 432rwhp..

Well my LS7 still grabs, although Im having issues with the hydraulics, since when I did head/cam on my car (432rwhp) I didnt rebleed the hydraulics and air may have gotten into the system.. so thepedal sinks halfway through, but other than that, which is my fault. I believe the clutch is still fine.

that is the question.... mine held 11 times. now my 60's went from a 1.71 to a 1.9-2.0. and the clutch only has about 3000 and 11 track passes. 430hp on motor 12 bolt 3.73's and 26x11.50 et streets. It will last some.... but HOW LONG????
