Clutches ??

[Rscocca]

I know the topic has been talked about before, BUT

Has there been any improvements on clutch kits for the G50 mated to an LS7?

I ask because I need to change second clutch in less then two years.
First admittedly too much fun blazing up the windy roads.
Second, broke ring gear from flywheel.

If I have to pull the trans-axle again I would like something that I have to baby, Most clutches available I have seen have about a 500hp/ 550ft.lbs limit before they start to slip.

So, who makes a kit that will handle 750HP at the flywheel?
I'd rather pay for tires then clutches

Sachs make a "racing" clutch pack for G50 (I can't find the details) to LSX which I believe is the same as LS7.
Last time my box was out the clutch looked perfect (estimate 3500 miles)
Warning! the clutch pedal effort was near excruciating waiting more than a minute or so at a junction to turn, so much so that I changed the master cylinder, which has made it lighter but longer throw.
the clutch has never ever shown any signs of slip even granny changing flat shifts .

Check with the Factory that you have the uprated clutch for the LS7.
They don't use the G50 box on the 1000hp so not sure if the clutch they use will fit.
