Buy a textralia. Lots of people have them and have had good results.

If you do a search you will find a bunch of threads.

If you're not running anything more than an LS1 with less than 400hp, I would install an LS6 clutch, LS6 master and slave cylinders.

When I replaced my clutch last year - since I have a stock LS1 with headers, I just used an LS1 clutch. It works just fine and will continue to work just fine, since I have no intention of doing any engine work.

If stock, stock is fine and when you pump up the power get the LS7 or Textralia
