Default LS6 Clutch Power Threshold

What's the most power or ET performance here with a stock LS6 clutch? I am curious what can one handle if not used at the track regularly. I am only looking for occasional nights at test-n-tune. My goal is mid 12s in a mostly stock T/A, I might would mod up to 400 rwhp, but at this point I think I will stop with headers and tuning.

Until I see strip performance of those with the heavier LS7 setup, I'll hold off on getting one of those.

Seems that the LS7 would be stronger in any case. Why go with something that isnt too popular?

I am leaning more and more back to stock, and I know I can get a LS6 for cheap. The car being as civil as possible is slowly becoming my #1 priority. (yep, I may have lost my mind )

I have been using the LS6 clutch for sometime now a loving it
I also want to add that my car never see's the track strickly street an on street tires.
I don't think it would work very well on a set of ET Streets at the track.
