Default LS7 clutch kit backordered?

It's time to put in another LS7 clutch... I'm having a problem finding these in stock, and ironically the tranny is out. Already had bad experiences with Spec & RAM. Textralia & RPS are expensive. SDPC is backordered, another place is a week out, the place where I bought the first one closes at 4PM and the paert number isn't found on their site.

Anyone here buy a LS7 kit (just pp & disc is all I need) recently from a vendor I can check with? Else, what else is there that's reliable for about the same price point? If I find a LS7 pp & disc, I plan on re-using my Fidanza aluminum flywheel.

Thanks!

I called Byunspeed at 4PM MST. It was in stock, but 1) They had already passed their shipping deadline and 2) an estimated $150 to overnight the PP & disc because it weighs ~40lbs. Couldn't find a phone number for KY Speed on their website.

As Z28/2002 suggested Contact KY Speed, if they don't have them they can get them the next business day. Plus they will price match.

That's where I purchased mine

Looks like KY Speed doesn't have a phone number published on their website, and the only way to contact them is via a web form? I prefer to talk to a live human when dealing with a new vendor.

Understandable, but they are pretty good on thier communication.


I wonder if these clutches are selling out because of demand, lack of supply or both ?
