Default New LS7 Clutch and Flywheel

I just had my new LS7 clutch kit installed with a new slave cylinder (the old pesky one finally went after 97k miles) and it feels great! I'll keep you guys posted when its finally broken in and I can put the hammer down!

i have had my LS7 clutch in for 3 years now about 20k miles, still going strong. has seen about 50-60 track passes (no super launches or anything, all under 3k). and been across country twice. here is the items i have

LS7 clutch from the WS6 Store
RAM Adjustable Master Cylinder
RAM/GM Slave Cylinder with Speed Bleeder
***NO SHIMS REQUIRED***
PRO 5.0 Shifter
Tick Performance T56 Stage 3 Rebuild
Mobil 1 Dextron 3

i have had ZERO problems with mine. it shifts perfect every time. my release point is about 2-3 inches from the floor and the catch point is right at the 3 inch point. i love the throw on it, quick dis-engagement, smooth yet precise engagement. no dead pedal feel, not one has it stuck to the floor. it is a great clutch. great for long life and stock like feel with great holding power. i had a Monster stage 3 before this clutch and hated it, didn't seat right, never fully dis-engaged...so i just went with good old GM products. good as ever

well i sure hope when i go install mine....I better have ZERO problems with it when it finally in.

I was told i wouldnt need the high priced adjustable MC's...that the new updated GM Master would do the job just fine....since im replacing everything with new updated ****...slave and master...I shouldnt or better not have any sticking pedal to the floor or being locked out of 2nd after a high rpm 1st gear.

we will see.

HMMM.....how much and where did you get the RAM MC?

does it go in like an OEM or does it like installing the Tick MC...where you have to make new holes or some **** like that.
