It's an excellent clutch for street driving. Light pedal feel (about the same as stock), and it has a very good bite at the track. It's doing better than the stock clutch...which died in conjunction with my TR224 cam install. I'd recommend it.
i installed the spec stage 3 and replaced everything and works as smooth as stock.

For example, Clutch Masters has a review of stock pedal pressure and gripping power to hold onto 600 rwtq, yet no one runs it, no one recommends it, and absolutely no one talks about it. Why is that?
I believe the ausi clutch is in a specialty product that was marketed well. In other words, they are closer to being here in the mainstream market as is possible without being everwhere. It's interesting to see what they come up with. They are our bitches.

I have it, and absolutely love it. It's even better than advertised. I'm fairly new to this board (2 posts now? - need to get a sig) but have been on LS1/2 since 2001. Elmer was a big help (among others) during my research stage and LOVES his too. FWIW he runs twin turbos.

From what I have been reading there is no LS7 specific flywheel.
I am tryin to decided now between the Spec 3, LS7 or the Textralia. Too many to choose from
I have had a Spec and it grabbed good and all chatter went away after 500 miles.

I have the CARTEK clutch with the upgraded 02 hydrolics....the clutch pedal is a bit firmer then stock but it grabs very well and is very similar in characteristis to the O.E. unit. If I could do it all over again, I would go with the LS7 clutch if possible but I would also recommend the CARTEK unit
