Default Clutch And Flywheel??????

I'm in the process of building a 402 with a supercharger in my C6 z51! My plans are boosting the car anywhere from 8 to 15 psi! The car is a weekend driver but don't want anything that will strain my leg either. I am puzzeled on which brand clutch & flywheel to use or what stage? Are the remote bleeders a must when doing a clutch change?


Thanks for the help in advance!

LS7 feels stock and will hold unless you are doin a lot of racing where you are going to slip the car out of the hole. It will not slip with a bunch of rpm, it will get hot and fail.

The Textralia OZ700 has a good feel and will hold whatever you throw at it. I've had a bunch of clutches in my car and this is what I have now.

I was looking into the LS7 clutch and flywheel but was sure if it will hold up. The most important thing I'm looking for is drivability. I'm not spending all my time at the race track but the street will be there all the time!

You are going to have serious power. LS7 clutch is not up to the task. You'll need a serious clutch.
