Default What do i need?

I want to get a good clutch with a reputable name, and one that can hold it's power but not be too racing-oriented, what should i get?
And also, i am probably going to have this professionally installed so what is EVERYTHING that i will need to give him?

As for brand, take your pic, you will find a hater and a sack rider for everyone, welp maybe except a Zoom clutch

But as for parts.

Clutch
Pressure Plate
Flywheel
NEW GM bolts
Slave/Master cyl updated to 2001+ specs
Throw out bearing
Pilot bearing
Clutch fluid
Rtv for the shifter
Loctitie for flywheel bolts.
Something to bleed the fluid, the professional shop should have this, or at least their method.

If the only mods you have are the ones in your sig, I'd say an LS7 clutch would be perfect for you.

^^What he means is it wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade your slave cylinder and master cylinder. I wouldn't worry about the master since they can be changed alot easier than the slave. Just buy your clutch kit and a 2001 year or later slave cylinder and you'll be fine. I used WS6store (their a sponsor on here) when I ordered my clutch stuff. They are great people and ship it to ya very fast. If you have the extra money to order a master cylinder then might as well.
