I am putting a new clutch in the WS6 this summer. I(jj’s) will also be putting in a 01+ slave and drill mod. My original plan was to get a LS6 kit but now I was thinking about the LS7. I figure it will hold up awsome and have like stock streetability. I am wondering if the extra cost is worth it. Here is prices I found for the LS7 clutch and 01+ Slave…do these look good or is there better prices out there?

Complete LS7 Clutch Kit including Pressure Plate, Clutch Disk and LS2 Flywheel… $550.00 Free shipping

GM Pilot Bearing…$10.00 Free Shipping!  
GM 2001-2002 Slave Cylinder…$139.95 Free Shipping !

I thought about that, but the budget won’t allow it. I figured a 01+ slave along with “drill mod” would be fine. I will only take it to the 1/4 a 2-3 times /yr and I will do some autox and road racing. I just want to get the best price possible

I found this deal on a LS6 clutch…it is about 1/2 the cost of the LS7. If this would hold up fine then this would be a lot cheaper. I don’t want to pay for a better clutch when it will be overkill. Anyone ever have any problems with the LS6 clutch?

I’ve got the ls6 setup, no probs. Only you can decide if the ls7 is overkill. Future mods? Big cam, big spray, FI?

I just got a Ram Powergrip HD and a billet steel flywheel for $520.00 shipped. The flywheel came from [amsracing.com](http://amsracing.com). They are a sponser on [ls2.com](http://ls2.com).

What mods do you have on yours? Also how often do you race it. For the future I wouldn’t go much more aggressive that a mildly modded z06 (400-450RWHP).

I was looking into that last year but house expenses came up. I decided it was an awsome setup but for what I would be doing it would be overkill.

I went with the ram because I launch around 6800-7000rpm’s. I heard that they can take the abuse.

The LS6 was enough for my setup. I only had a full exhaust setup, and intake stuff(ls6 mani, lid, ssra, ported tb…) and suspension stuff. Stock cam/heads. The LS6 setup should still be able to hold a nice 224 and lower cam.
