You are gonna hear everything from stock LS6 to triple disk race clutch.
Run a search there are plenty of threads about this, I just read through them since I am putting a clutch in now.

Thanks,
I called Chris at Monster Clutsh today and he also recomended the Stage Two, as it stands now I've installed Kooks Long Tube headers their X-Pipe with Cat's and Corsa Tiger Shark from the axle back with K&N CAI. I think that's about as far that I want to go at this time.
Thanks Again Pat

I think I'm having a clutch issue. I have never done anything in the way of bad clutches except for breaking a disk in my '76 F250. Mine starts rattling when I have the clutch almost engaged, and sometimes it sounds like gears are grinding when I shift. Is this a bad clutch or throwout bearing? Or both? Dam, I just did first gear synchros and differential clutch pak; I wish I'l looked at the clutch then.
