Seems to me a lot of the LS1 fbody crowd has been swapping over to 5.bros in recent years as they get cheaper.

Understandable. Good bang for the buck like the 4th gen was. Only now you have to replace the six speed in the 5.0 vs the rear end in the 4th gen.

Good kill.

Are you planning on putting some big power through the car soon? That clutch is a little overkill for a bolt on LS car imo.

I can see it. Most fcars these days have alot of miles and have been whored out. From the looks of what some of these guys claim fbo run at their track they have no clue how to fix them so they just buy another car.

For me, as I've gotten older I've wanted something that is more streetable and forgiving as an every day driver. It is amazing how smooth the S197/S550 Coyote and 5th/6th gen Camaros are. Both I would love to drive around as a daily, as I do with my 2013 Mustang.

I wouldn't care to drive my 97 ws6 or 98 TA around as a daily much, however, I understand how some prefer the "raw" feeling of the older cars such as Fbodies, C5s, etc. Even a C6 feels a little "raw" to me nowadays, but I still want one

I wanted a clutch that felt like a stock clutch but would handle the future power. I do plan on doing heads & cam but my plans got pushed back when some sorry **** suckers tried to steal my car out of my driveway. The car was completely stock with 42k miles on it when I got it, it just turned 53k miles. I also had the car tuned and it made 351hp & 375tq to the wheels. It was tuned with the factory clutch.

My son calls my car "the heartbreaker" it seems to hurt a lot of feelings. This run was a friend that bought the car a few months ago and called me talking smack. 1st run against a coyote so I stayed pretty humble. My passenger and I are both pushing 230lbs.

If you had to replace the clutch anyway, I'd say you made a good decision. It is a good clutch with light pedal feel, and should handle the amount of power you plan on throwing at it. I run the same clutch in my magnum set up.

That's just the way it goes when the new generation comes out..

Every new generation of vehicles will always "feel" better than the last. When the 7th gens come out, everybody will forget how amazing the 6th gen was when it was first released. Same goes for other brands.
