Welcome!! 
You can "do" my clutch anytime 
I still have to buy the clutch, TOB, and flywheel. You get any other parts besides those? Just gonna go GMPP cause its cheap and I don't need a drag clutch.
It's actually 300hp from 4 cylinders only 
j/k we should try for something later this summer, like a photoshoot or car project day.
Finally got a chance to put the last few things back on the car last night and take her out for a road test. The new clutch feels great so far! Now I just need to get used to the grab point of the new one compared to the stocker and find some time to put some miles on it to break it in.
So when are we doing your clutch Dan?

[/IMG]Honestly man, don't be afraid of something like a 6 puck clutch disk (or a "drag clutch" as you refered to it..
). The 6 puck I have definitely grabs harder than my stocker, but it's VERY streetable. Although you do have a good point about the cost of the GMPP clutch. It definitely is a pretty good price no doubt.

You're gonna need all of the stuff you listed plus flywheel bolts (the GMPP clutch kit comes with pressure plate bolts but not flywheel bolts), a clutch pipe and 2 quarts of GM trans fluid (get ONLY the gm fluid!). Here's basically all I had ordered for my install.

Although even with a discount, GM would probably want some serious coin for a new LNF flywheel. The cheapest I could find was $700! Freakin craziness. Luckily I got the brand new one in the pic there for $100 shipped.... 
Unfortunately GM doesn't offer a clutch upgrade for the LNF either way so it's all good. The clutch I have in the car now (in the above picture) is a KY stage 3 clutch good for about 500ft/lbs of torque so I should be good for a long while with that one.
Just out of curiousity though, do you know what you could get the GMPP LSJ clutch upgrade kit for?

Yeah you'll probably be fine with that clutch so no worries. The clutch pipe is just a good thing to have whenever you pull the trans on a f35(mu3) tranny, especially if you're changing the tob/slave. It's really just cheap insurance.... trust me get it. The fluid is an absolute must as well. Once you pull the cv shafts, and intermediat shaft out you're going to lose most of it anyways, so you might as well just drain it all down and put in some fresh stuff.

Yeah? That can definitely be handy for other parts later on if I ever needed something though.. assuming you're offer to me is still open of course.. Although even with a discount, GM would probably want some serious coin for a new LNF flywheel. The cheapest I could find was $700! Freakin craziness. Luckily I got the brand new one in the pic there for $100 shipped....
