Default If You Had Around $500 To Spend On A Clutch

If you had around $500 give or take a little to spend on a clutch for a mildly modified t56 ls1 camaro which one would you get and why. I really like the clutch masters fx200 cause it lasts so long cause of the kevlar but what do you all think?
here is the link for the clutch master clutches http://www.flatlanderracing.com/cm-clutchkits.html

I never liked spec but I went out on a limb and replaced my POS Ram Powergrip with a Spec 2+ - I'll be buying this same exact clutch every time from now on. Perfect for my bolt-on car.

ls7 would do well for you. If you plan on running on slicks with any type of power(nitrous, cam, heads/cam, etc)... I would recommend stepping up a little more. I currently have the LS7 and it got toasted in a 2nd gear burnout with the linelock on... It held up for a while but eventually went. I installed the clutch in like... November 06? Been cammed since January. I currently have a RAM powergrip HD sitting in the closet waiting to be put in. Heard great things about this clutch.

I would save another 400-500 and get a TEXtralia OZ700. I have ~20k on mine and it's still badass.

I'm finishing my heads/cam swap up, and still on the factory clutch. Textralia will be in the works. I know money is definitely an object for myself and most people, but so is getting it right the first time. If you have a mild project, get the LS7. If you have a wild project, drop a little more coin on the Textralia.
