Default LS7 Is In!!...

What did you think, I dropped a 505hp LS7 in the truck!

I swaped my burnt up LS6 clutch setup for a LS2/LS7 clutch combo. I still need to put 500 miles on it before I get on it still. I also still need to bleed the hydrolics one more time. This clutch feels great! It is a bout 12lbs heavier, so I will see if I can feel that much. It grabs about an inch off of the floor and is really smooth. Hopefully this clutch last a little bit longer than my LS6 did. I don't think I will hot lap this one. Learned my lesson!

Good luck with the LS2/LS7 clutch. I hear good things about them, but I just don't think they'd be enough for my weight and power. That's cool that it engages about an inch off the floor though. Do you have any pics of the just the clutch?

I was scared about hearing the f-body guys saying theirs engaged right off the floor. I guess I got lucky. I thought this clutch combo would be perfect for the price and the power my truck puts out. Give me a sec on the pic!
