MORE than enough for any LS7 engine if installed and driven correctly, even with bolt on mods.

c4c5,

What are your thoughts on going with the LS9 set up? Worth the extra expense for more durability/lolngevity?

I don't do burn outs, but will drive it in the upper RPM range periodically. Thats why the original question about the burning clutch smell after hard driving. I can't stomach the thought of replacing the clutch/flywheel and related parts and then having the car stink like burning clutch after a few high rpm runs. I operate the clutch properly...

Thanks for the feedback...

HI there,

The LS9 clutch will not bolt up to your crankshaft. You will have to get a custom made flywheel to make it work. The bolt pattern is different.

Im not sure the "driving in the upper RPM range" will create a smoking clutch. I am all over LS7s and I have not seen alot of smoke or burning.

Maybe I would check the hydraulics when you do the clutch at the same time.

Allthebest, c4c5

You'll find it at CAC. I have to believe that car still smells of clutch inside.
