Default Ls7 clutch...

I have been reading a lot of ordered posts about the LS7 Clutch and how it was not adrag strip worthy setup. Has this changed over the years? Most of the posts I am reading are from the 2006-2008 time frames. My car is mainly a street driven car, but I will won't to hit the track from time to time and some spirited driving on the street.

I installed mine this week and doing the break in miles...which I am still not 100% sure what the best way is. I have 100 miles of stop and go traffic and about 40 miles of highway cruising. I did smell some clutch, but I am thinking that this is normal.

Anyone got comments or thoughts on anything?

Micah

Stock C5Z power levels, to about 450 RWHP, and that clutch should be fine. Above that, it's a matter of usage.

love how the ls7 clutch feels and its street manners, if your not doing alota drag racing id say its good for up to 500rwhp and c5 z06 puts out less torque than c6 z06s so its easier on it also. . my car currently makes 706rwhp and if i get on it hard 3-4-5 worst burning clutch smell.. . going with act twin disk

I ran one in my 346 build. 460/425RW. It was a great clutch and felt stock. I don't drag race the car so I can't speak to that. It held the power well and I sold it after about 5k miles when I did the 403.
