It looks like a LUK brand, I just had LUK identify one for me. But the ID numbers are on the inside of the pressure plate fingers. the numbers stamped on the outside were no use

LUK makes original clutches and upgrade stuff for all kinds of applications. I almost bought an LUK performance clutch for my 7.3L Powerstroke Excursion.

Now this kinda bothers me. I looked again and sure enough it does say Luk on it. I noticed they MOSTLY make oem clutches or nothing very high performance. This clutch is on a supercharged LSX basically a forged LS3. Now it was holding good before (around 550whp) BUT, ⁷everything is being upgraded (heads, cam, fuel pumps, injectors, etc.) for a goal of at least 800whp. So I'm guessing I'm gonna HAVE to upgrade the clutch?

It looks similar to the LS7 clutch I put in my car but they all kinda look the same...the bare silver steel with yellow springs is familiar though. I see some numbers printed on it. Jot them down and get to searching. An LS7 clutch is a stout unit but if you're going north of 600whp you may need more...

Man I tell you, that "while I'm in there" bug bite is real lol. Guess I should upgrade, while I'm in there. Some of these clutches are hella $$ 2k+ :o I used ACT many years ago on a 400+ whp turbo 4 cyl build and was very reasonable and held great. Hmmm I might have to and see if they make anything for my needs.
