few questions (clutch, center mount) i know there are other sections for this but everyone looks here so here we go...
i think i need a new clutch, im gonna pull my tranny soon and i wanted to know what kinda clutch are yall running in yalls cars? i was thinking about going with the centerforce DFX clutch i've read some pro's n cons about it... anyone one running that? get any chatter from it?
another i need the cme center mounted tips n valence, there is a guy on here that makes both but for the 2 1/2 in tips n valence is like $700 which i think is a complete rip off, that is more than i paid for my GMMG exhaust... but i like this set up ALOT! anyone out there know of another place that makes them?

I don't have any personal experience with the clutch you are referencing (DSX.. did you mean DFX?) Anyhow, I'd have to recommend you take a look at a Monster clutch, probably Stage 3 for your setup. Fantastic grip and is still very drivable though a little more expensive than the DFX.
I'd recommend PM'ing Gen414 with any of your clutch questions and visiting www.morrismotorsports.net. The owner's name is Derrick, he's a great guy and local (Houston area). He's also a Monster Clutch dealer.
Good luck!

The guys that are using an LS7 clutch on a 600hp car are not getting the full benefit of their engine as the LS7 unit will start slipping very shortly and have an extremely reduced life.

If you plan on keeping the car pretty much stock, there is nothing wrong with the LS7 clutch. Now if you plan on drag racing the car often, or upping the power you might want to look into an aftermarket unit.

well by all means an ls7 will be more than enough. you can buy them online at scoggin dickey parts center, they are a sponsor on here. Scoggin dickey is a large gm dealer outhere in west texas, i went in the store and bought an ls1 ls7 clutch kit about 2 years ago when they had a sale on them
and for CME your limited to the SLP official parts which are expensive, or buy them from 6litereater
