Ive ran it about 10-15 times total since ive owned it, I have gotten locked out of 4th a couple times trying to shift at 6800 but otherwise it never misses a beat at all. I do a lot of roll racing as well though so obviously that doesnt put as much wear on the clutch.

I will def be doing an LS7 when the time comes which I honestly dont think will be anytime soon.

I had a center force d/f for 80k miles it held my bolt ons just fine. The pedal was heavy as hell though. It only lasted 1 week after I went H/C/I and it looked like hell when it came out.

I went with the LS7 clutch and flywheel and couldn't be happier! I got the entire package for ~$400. I forgot what it was like having such a light pedal. I don't mind the stop and go anymore!

LS7 IMO are iffy as they are designed to "handle" stock powered Z06's but what people forget is that these cars are far heavier then what it's rated for. If it was stock or bolt on powered I would feel ok with that. Anying above that it's suspect to the reliability. IMO.

Post this seperate question in their the General Repair / PCM / and/or Brake section. You will get more response.

I personally would check the connection and with either 3 or 4 channel that the plug or plugs that read of the exciter ring/s are close enough.

If you have 3 channel, its top of the rear diff and if a 4 Channel you need to check at the ends of the axles behind the backing plate/dust cover area.
