Default clutch/flywheel question

ok well i was going to order an ls7 clutch kit but its on national backorder with no eta shown.

so i figured i would ask you guys to see what clutch/flywheel options i would be good to go with.

its going in my 98 camaro z28. it has the t-56 transmission with an LQ9 6.0 out of an 03 escalade.

im not looking for anything major as i dont race the car much.(maybe once a year)

any and all opinions would be appreciated

Well, I know you said you are not looking at anything "major" but still would have you look at Monster Clutches (prices are in my link below) The Levels 1 and 2 are an EXCELLENT street clutch, with stock pedal feel. Also, while they are a little bit more than say teh LS7, they are on sale right now, with free shipping, AND in case you do decide you want to step up the power, you will already have the clutch to handle it if you go Monster
You can call or PM me if you have any questions.
