Clutch expert needed...

I am having my tranny rebuilt next week. Sooo, I am looking at clutches. I have a '97 C5. Two options are the LuK Z06 ($489) vs. an LS7 Clutch for about $20 bucks more. Both are for sale through Eckler's. Any opinions about which to get? I don't do a LOT of racing, but I do enjoy ripping down the quarter mile at PIR once or twice a year. Thanks in advance, JC.

The prices are for the entire kit, including the fly wheel. Who might have that same package available for less?

No future mods = LS6 Clutch or LS7 if you plan on keeping it under ~425 RWHP
