Opinions vary, but I went with rps clutch, got it from ECS, and they did the install. A couple of guys I know personally on the forum have it. Anytime you want to "feel" it, let me know. I'm lifting at la fitness tonight, I'll have the car with me, 6:30-8pm. I'll pm you cell #

I have a Spec stage 3 in my Z06 and am happy with it for the price. It holds well against the power I am making now. It actually started driving better when I got to the 500 engine hp mark with my F14 cam.

I am starting to lean toward the LS7 set-up. Plus I can get it for cost. The Spec 3 is also in the running, I need to decide soon.

Aussie for me. Feels just like stock, but holds up no matter how hard I launch. It gets smoother with the use too and after adding Motoul 600 fluid, and rapped the lines, no issues at all.

Hard to pass on a Level 7 Cartek ... good to 700HP/TQ and feels just like a stock one. Price is 630 from Cartek ... but, shop around. They can be had for 450 ... with 450-500 needed to get a pro to install.

For a 500 HP car ... it would allow you to run hard ... w/o any fear of frying it. Should have a long life (in years).
