Thats a good start. I def get a Tick master with that clutch setup, only because its a pretty heavy setup. I tried running a stock 100k mi clutch master and it cost me 2nd gear on my tranny. As far as a slave goes just get a brand new stock 01 and up slave cylinder. I ran the LS7 on my car for around 25k and it was real nice on the street but didnt like a ton of track time with stickey tires. And yes it will work just fine as long as you get the ls2 flywheel to go with it.

I did not use a slave shim, but from what Ive heard it would of probably been a good idea.

The scoggin dickey Kit works great that is what I am running. The ls2/ls7 flywheel is the same so the one that comes with the kit is correct. I didnt use any spacers.

Totally not necesary as long as you are using the LS2 flywheel. I run this same setup with nearly 430 RWHP and no shim bs and several passes and have had no problems.
