Default Need new clutch

Hello everyone I’m new to the forums but have had my vette for a while now. I believe the hydrolic system went, I think I had a stage 3 In but I’m not 100% sure, I’m pretty clueless on what clutch I should get I love pushing it sometimes and I drive almost every day. 400 to the wheels with new intake, heads and cam so nothing crazy but I’d like a clutch that could also handle up to 450 or 500 and is still a good daily. I posted this before but was told to move it to c5 tech, I was recommended a C6 Z06 Clutch with a Tick Master cylinder and GM Slave how that sound?

I did a monster lt1s twin disk and love it. Good for 700hp and uses OEM GM discs out of a c7. Drives like a stock clutch and uses factory hydraulics. My car makes 480rwhp and shifts smooth as butter at 7200rpm

LS7 clutch kit will be fine for what you have.....I ran one for years in my S/C C5 with no issues with over 500rwhp......call Gene Culley at Cultrag (forum vendor) tell him you are a CF member he usually has a deal on the package....its a direct bolt on

Monster LT1S here also. I took out an LS7 clutch that was making the pedal stick on the floor

Just had ltl-s put in a few weeks ago, only at 456whp with 3.90s, but this thing holds it like a boss, and drives fantastic...only regret is not going with the lightweight FW. ( Both use OEM GM parts minus the lt1s FW) its worth the extra money for the lt1s IMO over ls7, always overkill the cutch if you can.
