LS7 clutch Just ordered a C6 Z06 LS7 clutch for the car ..will use a LS2 flywheel with it and all will bolt right up to the LS1 engine..my C5 Z06 clutch is not holding during hard shifts now days..so it is time to upgrade..I like the manners of the street clutch compared to a race clutch..the new LS7 clutch should be just what I need and have no nasty side effects.. 
how would a ls7 clutch fare in a fbod with minor bolt ons. Too much? im lookin to replace mine and want to go ahead and get somethin with good street manners but also support power for the future. plus isnt cost pretty good on em?

I work at a Chevy dealer so I get the parts at a good price..$500 for flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate..works for me..
What's a flywheel/clutch package usually go for? Plus isn't the zo6 a proven package versus spec or any others. I've heard too many horror stories so I'm lookin for something solid.
Is the flywheel the similar to the gen 3? On my next clutch I want an aluminum flywheel and I might get the LS7 clutch kit to go with it. Sound OK?

Go check and see what a aluminum flywheel for an LS2 cost..cheepest I could find was $400..then check and see what a spec 3 or your choice for an aftermarket clutch goes go..you can't get close to $500 dude..

It is a street car not a race car...I don't want chattering and all the BS that goes along with a race clutch..I like tha manners of the new LS7 clutch..it hooks hard in the new Z06 and is smooth with no BS..
I've got your parts at work and I am going to get them back to you in the next day or so..thanks a lot Mikey

What is your point I found them for $400 and still don't want one...I have a street car I don't want a race clutch in it..the LS7 clutch will be perfect for my application..I have already talked with guys that have installed this set up and are perfectly happy with the results..to me a good strong clutch with good street manners for $500 is a bargan..

I would think so..the LS7 engine is 505 at the carnk and that is the power level for the worst one that is ever built..they will consistently put out more than the 505..one of my customers drove his car directly to a speed shop and put it in the dyno and it made 455RWHP bone stock with 545 miles on it...if you use a 12% loss in the powertrain..it looks like the motor is making about 520 or so at the crank..I would guess that GM has built enough room in the clutch to handle 550 or more...I will let you know just as soon as I put the new clutch in..the parts came in today..gotta get off my phatt *** and turn some wrenchs..
