LS7 Experience; Good or Bad?
so for so go, i got done with my install 2 hours ago. i did the whole kit fw, pp and hydrolics. i would like to meet the guy who dicided to put the master cylinder under the brake booster and punch him squar in the face, other that that i love it
I'm on my second LS7... and I love them. First one got killed by a leaking rear main... but I've got 13k on this one and it's still doing great. 10x better than my centerforce... lighter pedal feel than stock.
had my ls7 clutch for almost 20k miles ago, never had any problem except recently i've been having issues with sticky pedal at high rpm. I suspect it being the master cylinder but i replaced it and it still having the same issue. gonna step up the clutch to a spec twin
what do you guys think is the max whp an ls7 setup could take?? i'm going to go mild H/C and 100 shot on drag radials, so that should be about mid 500rwhp or so, but wont be launching on the nitrous too.

I had over 600 on nitrous and ran with Hoosier QTPs. Had PRC 5.3 heads, MS3, FAST 90/90, full bolt ons and a TNT F2 kit spraying a 150 shot
thats all i needed to know man, thanks! ls7 it is, but i'm going to go with either a RAM billet steel or fidanza aluminum ls7 flywheel. i've had light flywheels on other cars and love how quick they rev and i never found that they slowed me down at the drags at all.

Update to my LS7 clutch
It's been 50k miles now, 200+ drag launches at the track, god knows how many stop and go, many downshifts, burnouts etc
Pedal is releasing high now indicating end of life or near it, BUT its still holding. The winter tires (225) on it are getting roasted by the clutch on launch still and more than half throttle off idle launch. I'll have my spring rims (245) on it in another few weeks, but I suspect the clutch will still have more holding power than the tires. Once the 315's are on, will be a toss up if the clutch decides to slip or not.

I'm only a full bolt on's car......the car has always had street tires....RARELY beat on, and last weekend I took it to the track and made 2.5 passes.......on the 3rd burnout on MT DR's, the clutch produced more smoke than the tires did......Ls7 clutch dead. Monster Level 5 or 6 coming.
Not impressed.
