I would go with the Monster stage 3 clutch kit, nice looking stuff for the price, there also on sale right now too.

Ill 2nd that. Hell a level 3 you get clutch plate, pressure plate and flywheel, plus pilot bearing, allignment tool, a new slave AND a freaking warranty! For 800 bucks! That is one hell of a damn deal!

^^^ very true but a level 3 might be overkill for someone who just drives it and doesn't race very much... for 800 that is a good deal if you were looking for something to hold some good clutch dumps... he said he's looking for cheap though i'd suggest a ls7 clutch kit from our sponsor on here sdpc (scoggin dickey)https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=3451
that's the link to his page to pm him the kit comes out to mid 400 i believe... includes pressure plate, clutch, flywheel, and bolts... your making 440rwhp i believe and have read they are good up to 450rwhp plus some...

i'm not making as much power as you yet but it holds great feels a little firmer than stock minus the slipping lol

Default New Clutch

Thanks for the recommendation ZMONSTER. He is right however our Stage One is designed to hold 500 horsepower, and it is priced not to break the bank. Also when you are comparing our clutches to other manufacturers check out our CK kit. It includes a clutch flywheel bearings etc everything that you need to do a successful clutch install. We do not include a slave, however that can be picked up at just about any auto parts store or the dealership.
Thanks
CB
Also for the record, I am a sponsor, I am not sure why my name still says registered user I will have to get that fixed until then I am not posting any sponsor information. However if you need information on this or any clutches you can PM me.
