Just got my LS7 clutch in and the disc has a couple small chips from shipping that I'm not concerned about, but there's one that's quite a bit larger. Think this will cause any issues? I got it through Amazon so returning/replacing would be easy enough but I figure it's not worth the effort if the next one will be just as bad.

Looking at it from the angle of the picture it does not appear to be cracked out on the surface where the flywheel or pressure plate will contact it. IMHO i do not think it will be an issue. Remove the fraying and take a piece of sandpaper and feather the sharp edges to a smooth contour and install it, break it in and then give it hell. My monster stage three lost a plug out of one of the pucks and welded itself to the pressure plate, i just removed it, sanded the disc around the area where it came out and i have put somewhere in excess of 75 runs on the drag strip and it hasn't had an issue.
Actually broke the trans at the LSX Shootout back in October.

I agree, that is very minor. Remove the fraying (scissors should do it) then blend smooth and run it like any other clutch.
