They have some very streetable clutches, and it is always better to have something that will benefit you in the long run.....as far as the price, idk.....call and see whats up.....

I've had mine now for a few months and haven't had any complaints. I ordered mine with a new master and slave cylinders, new pilot and throw out bearing, and the flywheel bolts.

Is that what CMS sells them for?
You might want to look into a Spec clutch....my brother has a stage3 on his bolt-on ls1, it's perfectly drivable but, can chatter from time to time.

How much is that one? Cus i hate chatter. I used to have a lot of it in my 91' Camaro, but that was because my flywheel looked like a ruffles potato chip!...lol

If you know you won't be upping the power past the 450 rwhp mark any time soon, go for it. I'd just reccomend buying a new slave just for insurance since you'll already be in there. The clutch is VERY easy to drive and doesn't chatter at all. I'm very happy I went with the LS7 clutch instead of another Spec or any aftermarket for that matter. IF I was making a lot more power and had the cash, I'd give Textralia a shot... in any case, if your power level suffices, OEM > Aftermarket

Oh yah, and if you haven't already, get the drill mod done (MUST) and if you've got the extra cash, an adjustable master cylinder is nice little luxury to have...
