LS7 Clutch Going In
I ordered the LS7 clutch and flywheel from Gene at Fred Beans yesterday. We're going to install it at the same time as the H/C. I don't think my 40k clutch is going to hold very long. I let everyone know how it works. Obviously GM thinks it's good for 500 crank HP so it should hold my 430 or so RWHP.
Review coming in about 2 weeks.

Nearing time for a new clutch as well.. Interested in how it goes - if there are any install issues.
