LS7 Clutch Question
#24
I have one and it's really nice. A little soft, which is something I don't like, but it holds and drives like a stocker. I didn;t have any luck with Specs but thats just me I guess. A lot of people love them.

The best place to buy a LS7 clutch kit is at www.sdparts.com They the LS7 clutch disk, pressure plate and fly wheel for $399. They are also a sponsor.

So, if you're not planning on spraying, the LS7 clutch would be a good choice?
The changes I'm planning for my 04 long block are:
Patriot 2.02"/1.57"/59cc Heads - Fully Assembled
MS4 Cam
SLP LS6 ported oil pump
SLP Double Roller timing chain
Will the LS7 clutch handle that and will a bone-stock T-56 handle that much? My car isn't going to be run extremely hard all time. Just a beast of a daily driver.
Thanks,
Michael

so then if you are spraying oh i don't know maybee a 200 shot direct port kit what would be the clutch of choice for people who are sprayin out of the hole? I have always thought spec 4 or 5 would be a wise choice.

Are you guys using that heavy LS2 flywheel that came with the LS7 clutch kit or did you buy the fidanza light weight one? I know the stock LS2 flywheel is heavier than the LS1 flywheel, therefore you will lose power.
#31
YA but more rotational inertia will yield more constant times and will hold RPMS better for road racing. And the loss of power isnt enough to worry about...
#32
I use the LS2 and I still made good numbers. Also both curves were flat and had no peaks. Just good numbers for my mods. If you are not in the 8's or 9's the 2-5 HP you lose is not worth worrying about. IMO
#35
So how much power would you gain with a fidenza light weight, which weighs aprox. 12.9Lbs. ? Would a light flywheel like that cause any chatter?
