It will be fine as long as you dont plan on racing it hard or doing a ton of burnouts. I had mine for awhile and it was nice as a daily driver but did not like to be hot lapped at all. Oh and make sure you put in new hydraulics too. The ls7 is pretty heavy and can put a hurting on a tranny if the hydros arent keep up to date.

It will handle that power no problem. 450-500rwhp is about the limit in a heavy car.

LS7 clutch is a great choice for a street car with around 400WHP or less.

The LS7 is about the same stiffness as the stock clutch, so it won't be much of any increase in pedal effort.

Mine has held up well. My car is as heavy as a F-body can get and I haven't been really nice to it. I only have 360RWHP though.
