cool to drive on the street, feels stock.. then again most of the pressure plates are made by luk or exedy.

i'd look into southbend clutches for the best bang for the buck.

Yeah im looking for something thats gonna hold up well with the spray and alot of people were telling me the spec were junk and the ls7 might not hold up as i would like it to ??? Iam on a budget and can get a really good deal on the clutch so thats why i was asking how much does one of those cost and what can they hold ???

I have an OZ700 and I am dumping the clutch at 5000RPMS which is 620HP and 653 FT-TQ on my setup on 28x10.50 slicks and it hasn't skipped a beat yet. I have had this clutch in the car for 3 years and over 10,000 miles on it.

I use it and I love it. Would buy another if I ever needed to. I have personally seen too many specs, rams, LS7's, center forces bite the dust on lesser powered vehicles for me ever to consider them.

^ Get yourself the Tick perf Adj Master Cyl as well. It seems to be the magic bullet for these cars.

My second stock master kicked the bucket this year, it lasted less than a year. I picked up a Tick adjustable master. It feels a lot stiffer than my failing master. adjustments are easy I hope this is the key to my shifting issues.

finally got to drive mine and the clutch engagement is consistent now. I just need to just fine tune the tick master and I will be ready for racing again. I suggest putting in an adjustable master when replacing the clutch.

I just replaced mine this weekend, I recommend the clutch pedal to be a little farther ahead of the brake pedal, so the clutch would be a little closer to you.

mine is just a smidgen lower than the brake pedal. But as they say in the instructions, every car is different.
