LS6 clutch is slightly better, but you might as well upgrade if you need to change it out. Niether of them will hold very much power.

I've ran the LS7 clutch in two different cars and didn't need a shim on either

If you plan on making decent power get one of our Monster Clutches, even our Level 1 is a better setup than the LS7, and it comes with a warranty.

Sure! The Monster Clutch Level 1 was designed as a stock replacement, only, a bit beefier. Our clutch features our Heavy Duty Pressure Plate and SFI certified billet steel flywheel which makes this one stout stock replacement! We’ve taken the worry out of the organic clutch with our Level 1, here’s how.

We start with the two most important pieces, the disc and the pressure plate. The LS7 pressure plate “self adjusts” and adds comfort to driving your car which loosely translates to the pedal eventually going limp when it is power shifted.

Our Heavy Duty pressure plate is a HUGE improvement over the LS7 unit. It has increased clamping force and we’ve adjusted the fulcrum point on the diaphragm spring to obtain a pedal that is only about 5% stiffer. With this you get a clutch that will support basic bolt-on’s without any worries to the driver. We throw in a SFI certified billet steel flywheel so when you upgrade your car at a later time you won’t need to swap it out.

The Monster Clutch Level 1 is rated at 425hp/tq. It will take a beating on the street but is not designed nor intended for racing. The organic material lacks the proper coefficient of friction to take a beating at the track. This clutch should be used on street cars that have minor bolt-on’s and do not frequent the race track.
