Default LS7 clutch upgrade question

I would have to change the flywheel as well for an LS6 application right? Is there any reason why this flywheel might not work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Thanks for any responses.

That's the one that I'm using for my LS7 conversion. Try this guy for the OEM clutch:

And don't forget to get 6 new flywheel bolts (GM part number 11569956). I didn't realize that I needed them until today. A pack of 10 of them should run you about $25 shipped on GMpartsdirect.

Thanks. I was unable to get a straight answer on this from the clutch supplier. It makes sense that he wouldn't be at all motivated to offer anything much in support of someone else's product without actually seeing it.
I am probably going to do this flywheel with the OEM Z06 clutch as well then.
Also a slave from OReilly's, new flywheel bolts and a remote bleeder.

I don't see why that flywheel wouldn't work. I ran an F1 clutch in my blown mustang for over a year with no issues. Most all of these parts are made by the same manufacturers and re-branded by companies from what I have heard.
