Default Most streetable clutch BESIDES Textralia?
Just as title says, and consider that the drill mod would be done also, thanks!

LS7 all the way. I LOVE mine and it has never slipped with over 400 rwhp. Drives like stock, and blows my spec 2 away.

My SPEC 3F is very streetable, and the pedal feels almost stock. I've had it for 30k miles, and haven't had any problems out of it.

Nevermind...that was a stupid question, as you already have it.

I'm quite pleased with my RPS, but am still on break-in.

Bingo. I am looking more and more at the LS7 but i just do not know about an OEM clutch withstanding 5k rpm clutch dumps, whereas with aftermarket it can handle the dumps, but doesnt drive like stock. It always seems like an "either-or" type thing. I know this has been the debate for many many threads also. I just fear that if the Textralia clutch PP bolts are backing off AFTER properly installing it with loctite, when will it happen again? I simply cannot afford that risk *IF* that is the problem. I will know on monday i believe.

Let us know how it comes out for you for sure...I'd like to know what comes of this.

Really, this game is one of compromises...of the two aftermarket clutches I've had in my car, neither has driven like stock, but my RPS is much more friendly than the Ram it replaced. I hope you find your "happy place".

haha find a happy place. What is this "RPS" clutch you are talking about, sorry for my ignorance if it is a dumb question? how "slippable" is it? did you beat the hell out of it or just barely beat on it? sorry for all the questions, i want to get as many options as i can before deciding on what to do if i have to go with a different clutch

From what your saying I would do a LS7.It might not hold too long on the launches but it will drive like a stocker. If you want one that will take the abuse you have to give up the stock feel/slip.

I would work out the issues with the TEXtralia if at all possible, before going out and buying another new clutch.
