Default LS7+Nitrous?

I am throwing around the idea of spraying. A small shot, 75HP for now. I probably won't even end up getting a nitrous kit but I was seeing if the LS7 would hold the power. I was set on the LS7 since it's cheap, holds good power and everyone seems to have luck with it. My car right now is making 400HP and 375TQ. I am just worried that if I do end up spraying it's going to take the clutch to the breaking point. If that's the case I probably would just be better off getting a Tex or Cartek clutch.

Any opinions are appreciated.

Mine is surviving with my boost and 500/500 to the tires. Over 3700 miles on the set-up so far this year.

Damn!

I figure if it can handle the Z06's power why wouldn't it be able to handle the power I am making? How much power are the C6 ZO6 guys putting through thier clutches?
