Hit up Jason at TDP, He has the Diamond clutches that are awesome. He can recommend you the best one for your application and make you a package deal. Here is some info, his stage 2 is probably the best if you drag on the weekends and it is rated at 600+hp and has great driveability....hell even his stage 1 is good option too. Oh, he also has a flywheel that revs up like nothing else! . Here is a link to comments on the stage 2 and stage 3.

Also ask Jason what the differences are between his clutches and the other brands.

Here is his info, He is also a sponsor here. His prices will not be beaten!

I would go with the Diamond Stage 1 if you are considering the LS7. This clutch is very similar to the LS7 but has a much stronger pressure plate and is only $369 shipped. Let me know. Check my sig.

What are your plans for the car?

are you looking into power adders or anything bigger later on? the ls7 is a good replacement clutch, but if youve already got a monster on order, it might be worth just waiting for it.

it should be puttin down somewhere around 400 to the wheels. im just gonna cancel my order and go with the ls7 clutch because im not going to be puttin down any major power and will not be using power adders anytime soon. so it will be fine for now i think. plus it will save me some money.

Congrats on going with the LS7. It's a perfect replacement clutch for a bolt on DD car. Really street friendly, but can still hold down some extra power.

I think the McLEOD RST twin sounds like an awesome clutch.
Pedal feel of a toyota would be great in all the stop and go traffic where I live.
