Default Need a new clutch

I need a new clutch. It is my daily driver and I have only taken it to the track 2 times last year. I like to gas it, but not to the extreme. It is a 2001 WS6 stock LS1 with flowmaster exhaust and SLP lid. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The LS7 disc is pretty good for a street car. It's what I've got and it acts pretty much like the stock clutch, but a little grabbier.

Ls7 clutch here also. I've got over 3,000 miles and it's been flawless for me. x2 on changing the slave cylinder. I also went ahead and changed my master cylinder to make sure everything was new. I didn't want any problems, and only wanted to do this once. The nice thing is now SDPC's kit comes with new flywheel bolts. When I got mine from them that was not a part of the kit.

A lot of people will likely say the ls7 clutch for you... Seems to be the most popular choice for our cars unless heavily modified. Def replace the slave, and the master. I already replaced my master with a tick (sponsor) unit as I was one of the people who suffered with a sticking clutch at the track.

Def ls7. Cheap (Can get flywheel and clutch for like $450) and will hold up great! Even if you plan to do heads and cam later down the road, it's still good for that. I have around 3-5k miles on mine since cam install and I love it!
