Default Looking for a clutch recommendation.

I'm putting a Comp 281 (232/234 .595/.598 112) in my car soon and I'm wondering what you guys would recommend for a clutch? The car is a daily driver and I was looking into LS7. I'm also planning on adding the juice in the future.

As long as you're not planning to go over approximately 450rwhp and also not planning on doing some high-rpm dumps the LS7 should suit you well.

Are you running Drag radial tire and Do you paln on spraying out of the hole at a well preped track? On the street the LS7 should be fine. If you plan on hot lapping it, you may get some slippage. I've only had my new LS7 in for a couple of days, no track runs yet. Hoping for some low 12's on motor, I plan on spraying it deep into the 11's.

Default New Clutch

If you are looking for a little more, but without sacrificing pedal feel our stage one will hold up to 500 horse and about equal torque but still feels smooth. I am working on putting up a group buy with this clutch that would include a clutch flywheel bearings and an alignment tool. Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks
CB
By the way we have a great full faced ceramic disc for when you need it.
