Default LS7 clutch and Light Weight Flywheel (Tick Performance)

I am looking at the Tick Performance LS7 clutch and aluminum flywheel kit. I'm curious as to how well this setup works. I've had some problems with clutched in the past and what to see what I'm getting into. I know the LS7 clutch LS2 flywheel combo is a good one but I was wondering it anyone has tried this particular one and what they thought/think about it.

Thanks for any help!

Interested too. Was thinking about going this route since everyone likes the ls7, but complains about the weight.

I ran the LS7 and a Fidanza alum wheel in my H/C Z06. Worked great and drove like stock. Held 475 rwhp on a drag radial with no issues at all! Really nice combo.

With this setup, does it get the weight down close to factory? Or is the weight from the pressure plate assembly? Sorry for the newb questions, I'm really new to the manual crowd...

The LS2 flywheel is most the weight. With the Fidanza it was 39 lbs if I remember correct, which is a little less than a stock clutch. My Mcleod street twin with alum flywheel in my SS was 41.5 lbs.

Does anyone have the part numbers for a LS7 clutch and the matching Ram flywheel?

Thanks!

My Textralia OZ700 seemed about as heavy as the stock one. Both big bitches.
