So are you still useing your stock clutch....and I am considering getting the tsp heads also...man those things are so much cheaper than the all pro heads with similar power numbers, I can't see spending 5 grand when u can get the tsp heads for under 2 grand.....

Yep, the TSP heads do seem to work as well as any. Still on the stock clutch, but it's starting to give me some grief, pedal not returning all the way up after a "spirited" run.

Katech LS9X Clutch for LS2/LS3/LS7 Part # KAT-A5198 $1,499.99
Fits all C6 Corvette including Z06 (excluding ZR1).

Kits is a combo of the LS9 clutch matched to an aluminum fly wheel along with the slave cylinder and pressure plate bolts.
They did not list a new throw out bearing on the site.

Hopefully they will offer the Fly wheel only later on, for those who have purchased a LS9 clutch and plan to reuse there current slave cylinders.
