most websites you can get the clutch, fly, & P.P. for about $450-$600. but Fred Beans has it for about $400 I think. I'm not sure on how fast their ordering process is though. I also heard someone ordered it and got the wrong parts.

I got mine at fred beans, no problems at all, they sent it to me in a few days. I would recommend buying from them.

Somewhat but curious as to what HP range you guy's are in while using the LS7 clutch and LS2 flywheel?? I'm at 500+ Hp NA and will be adding Nitrous in the spring...will this clutch hold that much?? Thanks

No the LS7/LS2 combo is good for up to 450hp, you'll need a better clutch. Do a search to research on what clutch you should go with.

Would this set up be good for someone with a stock ls1 and t56, but plan to upgrade the motor in the future?

I don't plan on having upgrades that will over power the ls7 clutch. But i don't want to buy a stock replacement clutch just to have to change it out in a year or two. The car will see mostly street action, but it will be raced everynow and then.

Ok, I got the LS7 clutch in today with the SC and MC upgrade and did the drill mod. So far so good but I will let everyone know after the 500 mile break in how I like it.
