Clutch is going...

Well I'm pretty sure it is. I felt it slip last night. Any ideas on what's good? Should I just get an OEM or step it up?

Talk to Josh at JS. He can build you a custom clutch.

depends on what youre doing with the car. how often will u be at the track? running on a sticky tire? although a LS7 clutch might be an upgrade over your worn stock clutch, the LS7 is still a stock style clutch and wont last too long if u see track time. they cant tolerate as much heat or be slipped much without giving you the same problems as your current clutch. i tried to steer my friend away from that but he didnt listen. then, not long after that he was having problems with it slipping and he said, "i shouldve listened to you" Before anyone thinks im bashing it, i recommended the LS7 clutch to a friend of mine who sees no track time, and wants an affordable upgrade that will work well for his needs.
