I'm running a stage 2 in mine with chromoly flywheel.

Clutch engagement is sharp but smooth, no chatter. Probably 20% stiffer feel. It held my nitrous no problem 500whp/tq and has absolutely no problem on motor 416whp/399tq. WOT shifting is a breeze now. I've got close to 10k miles on it now and it's doing great.

I am running an LS6 clutch now and it has 50k on it.I am running 408 rwhp . I don't do 5000 rpm clutch dumps. I hit it from a roll.The clutch I have now does slip. I have to replace the slave so I figured put a clutch in while Im in there. I was thinking about a stage one diamond and don't want the pedal pressure much more than a ls7 clutch.

If 408 hp is all your planning on throwing at it I wouldn't run a stage 1 anything I would just go with the ls7.
