One has the upgraded aluminum flywheel and ARP bolts. The other does not. I believe that extra 100 bucks is better spent elsewhere. My personal experience with aluminum is that it's overrated and steel holds up to wear and tear better.

+1. i just got the steel kit from sdpc. i am very happy with the ls7 so far. good street clutch for cars with down to earth power numbers. if you have 500+hp you may want to look at something else.

You can't use an LS7 clutch on a stock LS1 flywheel. You need the entire LS7 clutch package that includes clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel.

i just installed that same package, you need the LS2 flywheel and the ls7 clutch disc and pressure plate. some other things to consider would be a new pilot bushing or bearing. i went with a bushing just because i dont like the idea of running bearings with out a way to lube them. also you may want to look at a new slave and master. i would go with a steel flywheel, the aluminum flywheel will not hold up like a steel flywheel.

Have the LS7 clutch with the steel flywheel. Had Speed Inc install a tick m/c at the same time. Seems to be a nice unit, had it for 2500 miles so far.
