I love the Aussie. It comes with a billet fly wheel now. I am on my 2nd and love it. Hold up great to the track high rpm launches on slicks yet is very stock like in feel. Good luck man!

I have a SPEC 3 in mine and I like it. HOWEVER, just because yours is sticking to the floor DOES NOT mean the clutch is shot. I just went through that a few months back. Change your clutch master cylinder fluid everyday for about a week until it clears up and I bet your sticking pedal problem goes away.

Here is the protocol in brief.

A Pictorial On How to Clean Out the Clutch Fluid Reservoir
I've attached a picture of the syringe I use; lot better than a turkey baster. The Mix Mizer is available at Walmart and most auto parts stores. It's normal purpose is to correct measure oil for 2-stroke fuel mixtures.

Just changing the fluid once or twice is insufficient, if the pedal is already acting up.

LS7 Clutch won't support a hard launch, say above 3600. Also won't tolerate intentional slip to keep the revs up during the launch;it simply glazes and loses clamping power. If you refrain from that, it's OK but still produces nasty fluid in a short time; so frequent changes of the reservoir remain an ongoing necessity.
For those wishing to routinely visit the drag strip, do yourself a favor and avoid the LS7 clutch.

This clutch is by far the most popular and successful single disc clutch on the market right now for up to 600rwhp applications, more commonly called the TEXTRALIA 0Z 700 clutch with the light weight billet fly wheel referenced by Brother DAVE above. I just ordered mine on the GP that ECS had and if you call them they can still get you a killer deal on one probably shipped for around $979 and they may be having another GP in the near future and you can inquire on that also!

If you are going to be spraying in the future, go with the Textralia. Even a stocker in good shape will not hold with the torque spike of the spray on launch, or even banging gears.
