Hey I have had the clutch for about 10k now it holds great and I dont run at the track much either, I would replace all the Hydraulic stuff in it if you havent already done it, the only part I dont like about the clutch is the heavy *** ls2 flywheel if you could find a steel lighter one I would get it it just seems like the car doesnt rev as quick as it used too and it takes a little more rpm to launch.

P.s. I have a friend that dynos 468 rwhp and has clutch dumped at 5k rpm on 275 nitto drag radials and he has an ls7 and it held!

Thanks for all the replies everyone . I feel better about going with the LS7. So how much heavier is the LS2 flywheel?

Yeah lots of good replies Jonas..thanks .

Chaz....no I havent gotten the hood painted and it wont be till this coming spring. I still need the phone number for that shop you told me about please .

a heavier flywheel should actually make it easier to launch at lower RPM's, since it has more inertia built up as rotating mass.

a lighter flywheel will definitely rev faster, but it will also take more RPM's to launch it without bogging.

Exactly. I personally think my car takes off so much easier since the install. There less bog off the line plus it feels smoother launching hard

No prob. I stumbled onto it after reading your post and figured it would help out.

Yea, don't even worry about the weight difference. I picked up E.T & MPH after my install so the weight doesn't hurt it at all. I'd only run a lightened flywheel on a track only car. This extra weight in a street car is great for smoother shifting & I have even noticed its easier to shift at higher RPMs too.

If GM puts it in their supercar then it has to be good .

Thanks for all the input and replies everyone . It's muchly appreciated. I will be getting the LS7 for sure.... after Christmas. .

You will not be disappointed as long as you follow the normal break in for a new clutch. Although OEM clutches are not as finicky as aftermarket ones.

I just got through the break in period about 200 miles ago and I've done 1 or 2 hard runs up to 100 and it holds so well. I was shifting at 6700 RPM's and it wasn't giving me any problems
