Clutch time
It's about time to swap the clutch out.
I was searching around and it seems an LS6 clutch should be a great replacement to my stock clutch. Do any of our vendors carry the part or should I just hit the stealership?

Do a search - Textrailia is one of the best aftermarket clutches. Doug@ECS and myself both run them in our road race cars and they have never failed us (unlike GM and other brands).
Just something to think about.

I just installed the "X" grip recently and so far so good. Only have about 1300 miles on it and no issues.

If you want a smooth engaging clutch with no worries for a nearly stock motor, go for the LS6. If you want a herky jerky, chatter laden, stiff clutch, go with the Tex. I just got rid of my Tex because my C5 was the most annoying car to drive with it in.....now, with the LS6, it's great again. Different strokes for different folks. I just wish I would have known the negatives of aftermarket clutches when I first installed the Tex.
So, if you don't NEED the capability of a high HP clutch, then I recommend you stay with OEM.
