Cool, mine was made in Dec. Guess that means it FOR SURE has all the 01 goodies (better lifters, LS6 clutch, tighter clearances, ect. ect.)

Mine is one of the early builds (September 2000), and it has the LS6 intake, and (had) an LS6 clutch.

How long did the clutch live and how was it driven and how did it die? I have 80K highway miles that an older guy put on mine and it seems to still grab hard as hell and I dont beat on it. Wondering how long it should last.
