Im going with an LS7. I would guesstimate that im making 320-330ish to the wheels, so thats what was recommended to me

I had an LS7 with near 400rwhp. Seemed to work pretty well for the 4 months I drove car before selling. However , it was a bitch at first because the pedal would release right off floor which made it nearly impossible to get into 1st or reverse.

if you are on a budget then go with the LS7 combo, it's holding fine in my H/C car

I just put a Spec Stage 2 in my car and I'm making about 365 rwtq. I don't have it fully broken in yet but so far, for daily driving it engages extremely smoothly and I haven't had any problems with it. It DOES engage right off the floor, though, just like the previous owner mentions with the LS7. My Stage 3 did not. Just some info for you.

the question should be what are the plans for the car in the future? if you are going for a H/C/I car that is going to see a lot of racing then a street twin or a tex would be in order. if it's going to be a bolt-on car then a LS7 or LS6 clutch will do.

I would not even consider and ls6 clutch it is what you have if you have and 01+ car. The ls6 is not worth the money seeing as it is about $70 more in price than ls7 which will not have a problem holding the power you have. Why spend $70 more on a lesser clutch. My vote goes ls7.

well in some time this year or next year im gonna have vengeance do a
500rwhp head cam package on it that includes.. a heavy duty clutch
i was thinking a bout a spec 2+ or a centerforce. but im gonna need a flywheel also and i do not want to spend $1000 just on a clutch

I just bought a Textralia OZ700 x-grip clutch. It was a little on the expensive side, but I've heard nothing but good things on it. I'll let you know how it turns out when it's installed.

Your getting a new one in a year or so right? So just pick one, its not going to have to hold for that long.

Spec 3+ should treat that setup well. Full friction disc, not the puck style, and plent of clamping power. A 2+ could probably handle it, but a little shot of nitrous or something like that could put you over the limit with a 2+. Call up the guys at Spec or one of the other clutch manufacturers and get their opinion. That's the best way to do it.

By the way, a decent clutch with a new flywheel is going to cost you $800-$1000+, so I'd plan on that. I haven't heard many people going with an LS7 clutch with plans to make over 500rwhp (although it might handle it fine).

if you goes with an ls7 clutch do you have to buy an ls2 flywheel? ive heard that you did.. im thinking of going with an ls7 myself and was wondering if you did

that's b/c most aftermarket clutches need an adj master so that it doesn't engage off the floor or it could be shimmed.

Bingo, you have to get the LS2 flywheel.

ls7 all the way and it is pretty cheap.
